    Couldn't agree more bob:thumbup1:. Im hoping to be a LOLER assesser myself come march(doing it with treevolution). I may take you up on that offer cheers mate. I think i could learn alot from you mate:001_cool:

    Cs38's quite easy to be honest mate. The hardest one is cs30/31 just because there's alot of info to take in. The instructors though are really good and can see when someone's struggling. Dont worry about learning every knot under the sun because there's loads. All you need to know for cs38 is-bowline,fishermans,figure of 8 and blakes hitch. Anything over that is a bonus really. You'll tie them so many timea though you'll be able to do it with your eyes shut!!

    Half an hour!!!!....thats pretty poor. I imagine the LCD screen would drain it a bit but thats still not great. The picture quality and colour looked really good though. So whats your verdict on it so far Rupe,worth the money or not?

    Might be a bit far then mate. Was gonna say if you fancy a climb or something just to get a feel for it then id of been more than happy to help
  14. old snake

    To be fair mate when you first pass you'll be quite slow to start with until you get a bit more confidence. If we have someone new start,they start off draaging and doing donkey work until we decide if they've got the right stuff. If they have then when we've got some spare time on a job we'll get them climbing. It sounds like your very keen though mate so i imagine you'll be jumping about quite quickly. It helps if you can get with a good company too who are willing to spend time teaching and encouriging you. Good luck with it all mate.

    Hey Shrek,have you used a spider jack before? I have a lockjack and a hitchclimber and very rarely use the lockjack. I think the lockjacks brilliant but does take some getting used to and can be very jumpy in the wet!!....I have never used a spider jack,just wondered if they were the same?
  21. old snake
    There's a first time for everything bud. Dont get too used to it
  22. old snake
    Actually Mozza's post makes more sense. Do that! haha Cool beans!!!

    If your willing to spend a few quid you could ring nod at tree worker. He's got some dvd's in called working climber. They look really good and quite educational. Im hoping there's gonna be one in my christmas stocking.
