Hi, I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months and have finally got round to joining.

I'm new to the industry, having just left the merchant navy due to family reasons. I am set up as self employed with the aim of sub contracting to gain experience. I currently have CS30/31, first aid and ATV qualifications, and am aiming to get on climbing courses soon.

Outside of work I spend most of my time riding and fixing motorbikes and mountain bikes, as well as volunteering with mountain rescue and a bit of sailing when I get the time.

Cheers, Mike

Hey up Mike, where abouts in Gwynedd are you boyo?

[neilb]

Gwynedd? Is that where the Pen Y Gwryd Hotel is? I've stayed there, loved it. One on its own that place.

Left the merch for the same reasons 6 years ago, do miss it at times though. Good luck with the new venture

Hey up Mike, where abouts in Gwynedd are you boyo?

I'm in Waunfawr, just outside Caernarfon. Are you also North wales based?

The Pen Y Gwryd is in Gwynedd, just at the foot of Snowden. Lovely setting and a good hotel/bar, though it has been a few years since I last had a drink in there.

Thanks. Nice to know I'm not the only one to have gone into tree work after leaving the merch. I'm sure I will miss being at sea some times, though I'm enjoying being at home of an evening with the wife at the moment.
