i did a days work as an instructor at myerscough. i was chatting to a few students and they were winging that they were getting £100 a day climbing for local companies. they said they should be on nearer £200 a day. one of the other instructors asked me what i'd be willing to pay. i told them that with there vast experience and knowledge i'd give them £70a day feeding a chipper. it didn't go down well. basiclly colleges are telling students you can earn £££££££ a day which is wrong! -
so at current timber prices your better off burning dry larch chip etc to dry oak chip? from what i gather prices are low at the moment due to the lack of building work?

what would you get from larch or spruce? whats the price per ton/ KWh difference?

he is gardening now for someone round windermere and working for a firewood merchant round kendal way most saturdays. the reasons well i'd say ignorance, money and wanting to prove people wrong.

as long as your tied into something of safe size hieght shouldnt matter. i'd rather be 100 foot up tied into a 4 inch stem than 30 foot up tied into a 2 inch stem.
