    Hi Andy, See if you can find any records of the most recent landscape character appraisal. This will highlight key species and desirable features that you can relate your management plan to. Sounds like a good project.

    I've always fancied Canada myself, they seem to have a great quality of life over there. And certain parts of South Africa...arb is still in its infancy there and I reckon you could set up a good business whilst the competition is scarce.

    I was gonna say P.tuberculosus too.

    I don't understand what the maillon is for? Why don't you just clip the krab on the end of your rope to your harness bridge? I wouldn't want the bowline termination so near to the hitch. Tidy lockup by the way!!

    Nope!

    I would choose a 2CV. Smooth ride and pretty good in sand.

    Nice one! I have also dreamt about this. We went to the planning meetings for the 'Rickshaw Run' a few years ago but ended up doing our own version in India on bikes instead. You'll have a blast! What's your vehicle of choice?

    Are you serious?! Each to their own I guess...

    Those are both very nice looking gates. When I have built my dream home in the country I'll buy some of those from you....

    I have declined to climb trees and got out of a few. I only climbed for 5 years and was never the best climber around so it doesn't really say much. However, I respect Matt's standpoint starting this thread having seen past pictures of his climbing abilities. No tree is worth risking your life over. The risk may be real or it may not, but the only way you find out the former is when you take a fall...every climber has to listen to his instincts.

    Hi Matt, See this link http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/training-education/21987-80-off-nptc-lantra-certs-warwickshire-college.html for a cheap way to get some certs. As others have said, get CS30 and 31 first and then you can start to sell yourself as a new groundsman.

    Be punctual. Be polite. Be fair in your pricing. Don't ignore the phone. Spend money on a decent designer to give you a brand/identity. Ask customers for references. Good luck - it's tough at the moment!

    2010 turned out a good year in the end after a shaky start. We have moved out of the city, I have started a new job and a MSc and adopted a dog.... I like your post Stevie - a good year is about more than turnover although that always helps. I am grateful for a beautiful wife, good friends and a healthy family.

    Good luck with that....have you read the new BS3998? If we want to always bide by the rules we will all have to take a DBH tape and calculator up the tree to work out how many branches of a certain diameter we can remove:biggrin:

    Nice one dave.
  21. Paul Barton
    Blimey! They must keep you busy!

    Here are a couple of pics of our new dog, Jasper. We picked him up last Sunday from a local rescue centre. I am dead chuffed with him. A bit of work needed to improve his obedience but he is learning fast (and so am I!!).
  23. Paul Barton
    Oh god, what a terribly sad story. My heart goes out to you at this very sad time.
  24. Paul Barton
    Blimey John, your photos get better and better!! Nice work. If you got some printed up on cards I would buy some for next season. When are we going for that overdue pint then?
  25. Paul Barton
    Not at all. Any potential employer will want to seek character references for a new employee. You should name current (if appropriate) and past employers that you would be happy to be contacted to give you a reference. This shouldn't come across as name dropping. ...and my reaction to 'exceptional' was wrong:blushing: so don't worry about that!
