  1. Hi to all and thanks for your replies...

     

    Well I don't expect anyone to take me to a busy contract operation and show me how to do the job... I just need some practice and it might be that someone has the right place for that... just trying my luck.

     

    Also the fact that I don't have the tickets does not mean I'm useless. I worked as a climber/surgeon for 5 years in Spain (where you don't need tickets and very few people assess).

     

    I haven't done much tree work in the last few years and what I need to do for the cs31 is a bit different than what I use to do and that's why I want some more practice.

     

    Thanks again for the advice and if you hear from someone that might have those trees for me to chop down let me know pls, it'd be much appreciated.

  2. Hello.

     

    I was wondering if anyone has a felling site or some felling work near Bristol.

    I did my CS31 course this week and I feel I could use some more practice.

     

    My assessment is in 3 weeks!! so I have some time and I am keen to give anyone a FREE hand in exchange for some practice...

     

    My instructor said that as long as I have done the course and someone with the ticket is close by to supervise me is totally legal practicing.

     

    Also, I have all the gear and saws...

     

    Many thanks.

  3. Can anyone of you guys give me some advice here, please..?

     

    I am working for a landscaping company at the moment. They got offered to cut down a Cherry tree and they asked me if I can do it.

    I have got the experience and the equipment to do it, but so far I only have the CS30. I am not English and I am in the process of getting the relevant CS'.

     

    It would involve climbing and an easy dismantle. They throw in some cash for me that I really need just now to pay for the next lantra course.

     

    So, Is it legal for me to do it while working for them? Am I still covered in case of an accident? What would you do?

     

    Many thanks!!

  4. Hello guys!!

     

    I know is a boring topic but I'm just about to buy a new climbing rope and I've got in mind the New England HV.

     

    Anyone has a better idea keeping in mind quality/price??

     

    Or a supplier with a good offer??

     

    Thanks, really appreciated. :thumbup:

  5.  

    Thought the NPTC model did exist in Spain, or at least in Barcelona?

     

    Cheers..

    Well I have been out of Spain for a while but I worked in Madrid and in Granada and for almost 5 years and I never met a tree surgeon who had the tickets. They exist but it's not obligatory for working as in here.

     

    They might ask for them in Barcelona now, I don't know.

  6. Oh!! thanks to all...

     

    so cs30 cs31 ntpc is what is worth getting if I understand right here...?? :)

     

    All this exist in Spain, where I'm from, but nobody cares...

    I worked climbing for 4-5 years without even cross cutting done. Which is bad, but in the other hand it's a bit crazy in here with so much normative...

     

    Makes it very difficult for people to start working and I am not too sure if it gets ride of the cowboys...
