Jay,

 

I've been taking my team over to Burnham Beeches a couple of times a year for a few days lapsed Beech pollard work.

 

If the powers that be in Epping are up for it, then I will try and arrange the occasional swap over of apprentices, between your site and mine.

 

This would allow for a greater variety of works for each sites apprentices to have a look at and interact with.

 

I'm going to be with a couple of the Epping staff for a few days next week, so will lay the foundations then.

 

Good luck with the position.

Hapy New Year Jay,

 

How are things going?

 

Are you getting enough climbing/felling time?

 

How's things going at Capel?

 

 

 

 

 

Are any of your colleagues members here?

 

 

All the best

Hi David, happy new year too, see you were working on New Years Day!

Things are going really well, the work is varied and they let us crack on and get the experience using all of the toys - arm fed chipper, forwarder, Teupen, felling etc which is good and helps build up the knowledge and experience.

 

A lot of the work we are doing at the moment is from the Teupen lifts doing the Beech, Oak and Hornbeam's under the keystone tree scheme so not had a lot of time to practice climbing. Hopefully moving into the new year I'll get more chance to practice the climbing.

 

Capel is fine, back there in a couple of weeks for the CS31, at the moment I'm the only one from Epping on here, been trying to get the others to sign in!

 

All in all I am glad I went down this route as the experience I'm getting and the training is excellent, much better IMO than doing a crash course or a 100% college based course and hopefully this will put me in good stnading for the future:thumbup1:

 

How's things over the 'north' going take your guys will be busy when you get back?
