A think this may be my farewell from trees. Offshore structures buildings and geological slopes to come.

Well done man. I like the sound of working on oil rigs how cool would that be.

No, it's dark, grass don't grow at night, and besides, it's not just mowing! I had to empty some bins today! And rake some sand! I even dug a hole yesterday! Think I might take a week holiday after all that hard work

 

Congrats to the OP, it's gonna be very different climbing in the 'sea breeze'

Good luck in your new career path!

 

Always been interested in doing my rope access! Can anyone shed any light on this? Is it worthwhile doing, or is it like the trees hard to get into without experience?

It is a hard industry to break into especially offshore if you don't have a relavant trade ie welding or pipe fitter.There is jobs out there for greenhorns most arborists will get a start with geotechnical rope access companies to get some hours under your belt and get the ball moving,I sent my cv out and had a job the same week, I have never looked back, now find myself abseiling of railway viaducts, installing and rigging large 2 ton overhead line stands or coring and installing steel anchors for reinforcing the bridge. The rope works good and the moneys in a different level to Tree surgery. £230-250 a day For a level 3 and £320-400 offshore a day so thats what I am working towards, sitting my level 2 by November, Don't get me wrong a still find myself doing some big dismantles and its great be back amongst the sticks but money speaks volumes.
