To be honest mate and I don't mean to sound rude or anything but half hours drive? That's a small area to sub contract don't you think? I'm nationwide but limit myself to 2hours travel time when busy and obviously if there is more than a days work to go past the 2 hour travel time.

 

Again sorry if I come across rude, just a thought though :thumbup:

 

I don't need to travel any further than that, there is plenty of work within half an hour from me. I'd obviously do the odd day for people who are desperate to help them out but It would be silly to travel 2 hours away and spend £40/£50 in diesel when I could work withing half an hour away. Don't you think?

Travelling for me isn't a problem. If its wurth travelling for I'd do it but I just thought people who are looking to employ freelance groundie/climbers would rather get local workmen than pay a high price for someone to travel 2 hours.

I don't know, this is the first time I have advertised myself to employers. So I'm not sure if thats how it works or not?

If your only worth 60-80 a day then spending 40+ on diesel isnt a good idea. But proper freelancers would travel further if they are the man for the job. I've hired a climber from reading area before and he was on site here in gloucestershire for 8am no worries. paid him £200 a day I think, bargain!!

Oh ok fair enough guys, I'm still learning at the moment so I'm not charging £200 a day so it wouldn't be wurth me traveling to far. When I would class myself as an experienced climber and the man for any job I would be up for traveling any distance. I'm just looking for a few more contacts within a sensible distance from me so I can get the experience I need to be a 'proper freelancer'. I'm nearly there, just need abit more time under my belt so I can be confident that I can do any tree any situation.
