  2. Hi pete I have one and have used it quite a bit, it's great for slowly milling stems that might otherwise go to waste, but is hard work. Terry

    Here here it's a joke, what about when the boots on the other foot, they wouldn't think twice a bout killing not only soldiers but women or kids. He should be released immediately. Terry

  5. We went pretty much same route recently, a few must sees are, falls of mysak near Ullapool. Kyle of lochalsh Eileen donnagh castle. And the forestry commision campsite Cairngorms near the mountain centre I've forgotten the name but it's got a small loch and woodland with red squirrels. It's also worth doing dunked and the hermitage on the way back down the A9, where you can see quite a few heritage trees. Terry

  7. You are technically correct Paul, but there is quite a bit more than tension and compression taught on a CS47 course. There are very few similarities between using a saw from MEWP/harness, for instance 39 no mention of how and why attachment of saw to bucket, positioning in relation to cutting ETC, Isn't it all about being trained to cope with the task at hand? Not sure where a person/employer would stand if there where an incident where he/she was not trained for the task at hand despite it not being a prerequisite. Terry

  14. Hi Rob as per the other posts you are doing the right courses to get your foot in the door with any decent firm, even the NEEBOSH will be beneficial to an approved contractor etc, I sometimes instruct courses at kings wood for service leavers etc and can tell you that you will get a great start there, and with your squaddie ethic you should do well in this trade. Terry
