  1. Green Flag did a good deal for me last year but with my car vehicle going over their age limit this year went with the add on to insurance policy. Left RAC for Green Flag before cos they wanted more than I paid to insure it.
  2. I've got a mate who's a bit of a mechanical/electronic wizard (I just nod when he starts on the wiggly amps stuff). I'll ask if he's prepared to have a go or any suggestions if someone's got a knackered set to play with.

    Spikes

    Started off with some Stein cos they were cheap, absolute sh1te. Bashlins are favourite of those I've used. Leather boot straps, velcro upper work well for me.
  4. Hi, suspect you're past ELC or have already used it. You may have useful licenses as an ex Sapper that can be a quick win for a lot of potential employers, C1+E or better still C+E and have probably got plant experience/licenses with CS30/31 could make you really useful. If you have access to any funding TKF training do regular courses aimed at service leavers, Holmfirth so out of area for you.
  5. Last confirmed one I had went to a walk in centre as I didn't have tweezers and got 'no lyme's disease in UK' before they smothered it with vaseline, left it for 15 mins to give a fighting chance to regurgitate something then removed it. Got some tweezers same day.
  6. Most of mine are 110 to 120
  7. There's a formula that gives something called a CAVAT value, don't know the workings of it but think the multipier went up in the last year or so. https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awr.hjP5g79nNwIA6K8M34lQ;_ylu=Y29sbwNpcjIEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1741814009/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fltoa.org.uk%2fresources%2fcavat/RK=2/RS=Q3VUsl6QaAQLvMs6Iv0fg6KeJTI-
  8. Lots of opportunities with local authorities round West Yorks at the moment. If they think you're experienced enough they'll probably get you to PTI, otherwise have a crack at it yourself. Do some prep work on fungi ID, think the AA arborist guide is the basis for what you have to know but may have moved on, legal responsibilities (surveyor, landowner etc) and BS terminology to describe work and you should be ok. It's a fairly intense few days but engage the instructor/assessor and don't panic.
  9. There's usually a yard that they'll either sell rings to public for very little or it'll get taken by a contractor every so often, depends how much space is available. Often they'll let you have it if they're on a site and haven't loaded on a vehicle but you'll have to take it all before they leave site or they'll have to take it with them. Just don't go wandering up to them in the middle of a job, wait by whatever site barriers are out or by the chipper but well back and someone will talk to you when they have a chance.
  10. I've got a few bits to do when I get the chance, I'll message you

    Storm Eowyn

    Triage storm damage for me I think.
  12. Looks like Plumpton Intermediate Tree Inspection (ITI) - LandPro Training - Plumpton College WWW.PLUMPTON.AC.UK This twoday training course run by Tony Lucas, provides an opportunity to move from the Basic Tree Inspection (BTI) to bridge the knowledge gap between to th... and Kingswood are running them or plan to be Tree Inspection Courses - Kingswood Training WWW.KINGSWOODTRAINING.COM I wouldn't waste your money unless you have no experience, just go straight to PTI. A bit of revision on fungi Arb Assoc Arborists Guide used to be the basic syllabus with extra info provided, swat up legal responsibilities wording so you can parrot it and practice some bullshit bingo with BS 3998 approved terms for works (selectively prune for ...; fell to ... not the terms you se on the job) as preparation.
  13. Hi Feu, You might enjoy a read through this thread Bigger scale and possibly older woodland but a fascinating diary.
  14. try putting a buff over your head under the helmet, the tail helps keep sun of but rain always finds a way.
