TKF for Service Leavers

[JimM]

Just completed my 38/39 with Tim Kirk in Holmfirth. It was part of a service leavers 1 month course with an ILM business start-up module thrown in plus chipper/stump-grinder and Basic Tree Survey.

 

What a great course! I've got to say a big thank you to Tim, Jonny, Vanessa and Mel of TKF and to Jim Philpott who managed to get me up the tree without recourse to a MEWP.

 

Since I already had 30/31, Tim arranged some work experience with Kirklees Forestry's chief ear-blackener, Bob Peaker. Big thanks to him and his team for 4 excellent days.

 

If you are a service leaver I can certainly recommend this course as a great start into the world of Arb.

is that the place with the marker on the door showing the level of the water from the great flood of whatever the year was!!! Tims sikta plantation is a smart place to kill off a week with a chainsaw

Did my 34/35 at TKF they have a top site and the instructors are spot on.

 

Didn't try it mate. Ate the MASSIVE meals in the Old Bridge every night.

 

Ah the Bridge when i got up there after my long drive i had dinner. I got the chicken and ribs as i was mega hungry. Apparently not hungry enough it was massive i had the ribs for lunch the next day!

 

The next night i saw some fellow Arbtalk members demolish defiantly two if not three courses of Bridge food.
