thanks! nope just alot of wp took 4hrs! but ive only been fulltime climbing for 5months now! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app

a few i done recently

My dad had one great chip truck used the extra long body for a normal tipping body with tool box although it was 5.5 so could take it with ease an still tow a 200mx no probs.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help explain/inform me of how i could work towards an ND in arb but i need to be able to learn from home as i live in NI and there is no course providers here. Im 17 in full time employment so im unable to travel and i havnt a clue what courses to take to work towards it or if its even possible under these circumstances? any advice would be much appreciated!

Dont we all? im 16 an had a few near deaths nothing to phone home about never been to a&e for anything more than a few stitches which is lucky the way a&e is here:thumbdown:

in my opinion its their fault...no dirrespect but as a lead climber id like them to have atleast a few years(3+) experience carrying out all climbing work. Make sure you make them aware of this before you do serious damage to yourself by pushing yourself to hard. At the end of the day if you get hurt or 'hit the wall' your losing income due to them pushing you to hard.

i do try closest ive came to carving was a heart for valentines day

I think id give up then ive been around arb all my life and have been workin in it on weekends and holidays for 5 years (climbing 1 1/2 years) and have never had to do so much riggin (apart from one job wen i first started but i just pulled branches back then) the guys that do it here full time use mewp for most of their work but are risk assessment didnt allow it due to flow of traffic down the road with no where to put it lucky me

Didnt really look...aparently a silage trailer hit the limb going over the road a good thump few years back causing visual damage and cambium and phloem was quite dry around impact?

Not bad for a 16 year old haha
