Yeah my assessor watched me fell the tree then watched me sned the first part then went and watched someone else and let me get on with it.

Hello mate, good luck with your 31. The key thing is to remember what youv been tought and Take your time. They arent looking for speed at the moment, that will come with experience and time. Theyre looking for accuracy and safety. Im guessing the reason for the change is to do with manual handling. To stop you doing your back in and to prevent repetative stress etc.

I currently live in Hay-on-Wye mid wales but am finding it really hard to find work. I was thinking about moving down to Bournemouth into my cousins flat if things dont start looking up. I have CS30/31,CS38 and am looking to do Cs39 SOON. I am fairly new to the industry as have been working as a freelance outdoor activity instructor and rope access technician for the last 6 years. It is lots of fun but i need something more regular so a career change is in order. I am very hard working, not afraid of long hours and early starts and am always keen to learn. If anyone can help or knows someone who can that would be very much appreciated. Also my cousin has an HGV license and is looking for work as well. Cheers Paul

Im based in Hay-on-wye at the moment. Iv been working as a freelance rope access technician and outdoor activity instructor for the last 6 years and was looking into a career change. Iv got CS30/31, CS38 and am hopefully doing CS39 soon. Iv done a fair bit of felling work and general garden maintenance. Willing to travel as am freelance. If someone could give me a chance to get my foot in the door or know someone who could that would be greatly appreciated. Iv been searching for work for the last 6 months but no luck, its getting quite disheartening now. Cheers Paul

Hi all, I have just become a climber and am wanting to get me own kit as you never know the history of the kit you borrow and i am just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere near hereford that i can go to and try on different harnesses etc. Cheers

Hi, My name is paul and i currently live in Hay-on-wye herefordshire. Iv been searching for work since Sept last year. Im fairly new to the game and just need a foot in the door. I have CS30/31 and am doing CS38 next week. I have been working as a freelance climbing instructor and rope access technician for the last 6 years and am wanting a career change. I also have a 4 day mountain first aid and first aid at work. Not afraid of long hours, hard graft and early starts. As im new to the industry id be willing to travel to learn from the more experienced guys out there. Any aspect of the industry will be useful from dragging brash to assisting climbers. If someone could help that would be awsome. P.S I have done a bit of geotechnical work in the past. Cheers Paul

Hi , Iv put up a few threads here looking for work in and around Herefordshire area. I have my CS30/31 and have booked myself on CS38 in mid June. Iv been working as a climbing instructor and a rope access technician for the past 7 years. Iv been trying to find work for the last 6 months and still nothing. Im just needing a chance to gain some experience from an experienced climber etc. It seems like all the employers out there are looking for people with experience but how am i supposed to gain that without someone giving me a chance. Im sure a lot of the newbies out there are in the same boat as me. Can anyone help or give some advice on someone who can. Im willing to do volunteer work, Im a hard grafter, not afraid of long hours etc and willing to travel as im freelance at the moment and have nothing to tie me down. Cheers guys Paul

Hello mate, My mate had a JCB phone. We both worked as white water raft guides so were forever dropping our phones in the water and down the river bank etc. he still has it after 4 years and its still waterproof and still bounces very well. Check them out. Happy hunting.
