LOL, lookin at my post kinda makes me sond like an old man, im only 30

I really did a number on my leg about 18 months ago when I came off a motor bike, caged, pinned, screwed and my heel put back together, ive only been properly back on my feet 2 months.

Tons of physio and the specialist has pretty much told me my leg is held together with spit and sellotape from the knee down

Ive tried climbing but I just cant put enough weight on my left leg

So now im working for my dad plastering, I hate being stuck indoors its a total culture shock, I dont think i will ever find a job that I enjoyed as much

Hi all,

 

Currently an office worker in IT and looking to change course, but I'm a big ship and it's gonna take a while

 

Used up all my holiday this year, going to do CS30/31 early next year.

 

Any tips???

 

Cheers,

Hi all

 

Im new to all of this tree stuff, although have gained an interest in it over the last months and am going to do a CS31/2 course in Sept 09 hopefully, Im just waiting for the collage to get back to me with the dates, can't wait am looking forward to it. The only thing is I dunno what I'm going to do with it when I have it, I'll have to sweet talk some farmers do some clearing for them, or do I have to do another course to be able to do that??....lol and try to find some local guys to see if I can gain some experience ..... are there any members from Northants or close by on here?

It's all so completely different to my full time job as a police officer, I think that's why I'm so looking forward to it.

I think this is a great site as from not knowing anything at all I am picking a few things up as I read, it really interests my wife when I tell her ... NOT!!

Anyway, I hope to see you around and if I can give advice on anything in my line of work then please don't be affraid to ask as I may want the favor returned one day.
