just thought id introduce myself!

[pyro]

hey all, i've been lurking here for a while, and finally got round to introducing myself!

Here goes then!

I'm ben, I'm 21. I've been at bishop Burton college for the past 2 years, i am now in my 3rd year (BSc) on the environmental conservation course. i have been wanting to get into this field of work for a lot of years, unfortunately funds haven't really permitted me to get the tickets i want/need.

I only have CS30, i failed 31 because the instructor was a bit hung over

im specifically interested in becoming a groundsman, warden, tree surgeon or somthing combining all 3!

 

ive done some self employed garden work over the summer, which was enjoyable, the land rover and trailer earned its keep that's for sure!

 

IM also about to start my dissertation on a specific tree disease, (i'm yet to narrow it down to one imparticular - ideas?!)

 

ive managed to get all my tools so far cheap and rebuild them, which is also a little hobby of mine! got a husky 357xpg for 50 quid, then rebuilt it and its sorted now, a husky hedge cutter for a tenner, once again all working!

 

 

so yeah basically i look forward to reading through the forum again and the inevitable insults about students, land rovers etc etc!

 

Ben
