Thank you for the reply great to hear off someone older than me who’s still loving it. yes I’ve been looking at doing the first couple of courses to get me started as a groundy and see how I get on, training fees are not an issue so I’m not looking for any company to fund me. not fazed by hard days graft in all weathers, long hours etc used to being wet and cold and so far over my military and security careers I am still injury free and fitter than 90% of the young uns I work with

Thanks Dan much appreciated

Many thanks for the advice

Thanks Con, yes been looking at starting off as a groundie to see how I get on, also looking at doing volunteer stuff to gain some experience. Not really looking to set myself up on my own

Thanks for the reply, 76kg - just over 5ft 10, no issue lifting my own body weight as been rock climbing for last 5 years and regularly in the gym or doing cardio

Thanks Steve, couldn’t stick working indoors so definitely want something outdoors

Good Morning all, just joined today and would like some sound advice if anyone can help. Abit about myself, I am ex military and have been working overseas doing security for the last 20 years. Over the past year I have been considering hanging up my gun belt and looking at retraining myself for work back in U.K. only issue is I am 50 this year but still fit for my age. if anyone can help I’d like some advice on is it worth it retraining to become a arborist at my age or have I left it to late. any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
