    Hello Harpo,

    Sorry for the delay. You are never too old as long as you are physically fit. Stay fit and climb longer! I am 49 and age is just a number. I get up there fast enough and I have worked out that good technique saves work.

    I wanted a job change and have always loved trees. Recently with redundancy looming I set about finding the kit and a climbing course and went to Pr Climber in Wales who are very good. I have my CS38 and go back this weekend for my CS30/31 from Monday. I am studying for my ISA arborist registration in three years so I am going for interviews soon with tree companies in the London area and SE.

    So get climbing as its great fun and a keystone to your new career.

    Last bit of advice is, for me anyway, to forget your old line of work and immerse yourself in the new industry. Keep reading books and never say no to a job! Where do you live? I am in Caterham. Good luck and if I can help more then just ask. P
