Hi guys,
Basically, I am after information on becoming a tree surgeon.
I am a 25 year old who is physically fit, I have a head for heights and love climbing. I enjoy rock climbing/mountaineering and have a decent knowledge of rope work/systems.
Currently I work as a water sports instructor in the north west area and love my job but fancy a change... I know tree surgery would be something right up me street.
My dream would be to move back to Cornwall and mainly work as a tree surgeon and do a bit of outdoorsy stuff on the side.
So from what I have seen, I would be tempted to go to Kingswood Tree Services (down south) and box off the main quals you need to become a tree surgeon (I think its like a 30 day course). Now I realise I wouldn't have any experience so employers may be a bit funny with me or pick the guy with exp.
Like I say this is a foreign industry to me so any ideas, advice, contacts, thoughts on how to get the ball rolling with this would be most appreciated!
Cheers now! Kieran.
Advice from the experts please...

Hahah! I feel the pain, I have spent a considerable number of days this 'summer' sitting in a powerboat coaching windsurfing in the pouring rain with a strong, cold north westerly wind... You think why am I outside? when I should be inside with a mug of tea... Beats working in an office for sure!
Good advice and thanks for it, like I say, I shall try and get some work ex and develop some contacts
