Give them a taster.

Every year we offer work experience for the three month ND boys and the week long school lads.

Sometimes this can be more hassle than it's worth, especially if the oportunity ends up in the wrong hands.

Last week however, we accomodated a lad from a local school, he showed great aptitude and enthusiasm.

Gives me a lift to see young people with direction and eagerness to learn.

He's gonna go back and wow the ladies with his new found Fungi knowledge

Some shots

A few more.......

excellent monkeyd...very nice to see that.

The boss was just saying last week that out of 40/50 lads he has had through various firms he worked for plus his own business, only 4 or 5 made it as a climber.

W/E should be implemented alot more into a students life.

I wish I'd done my work experience at your gaff mate! Looks like he got a pretty good overview of the job.

My only concern is that there's no evidence that he drank enough tea.

start em a bit younger

he had to go down the length of the garage only using the roof beams with an adjustable strop and 2 slings

nice one bob... my boy is only 17 months but reckon he will have something similar coming when he is a bit older. All he wants to do is free climb everything.

took him abseiling at 23 months and caving at 4 skiing since 4 now boards and skis better than me

has no fear of owt and is getting pretty good at branch walking although he lacks the strengh to prussick too much

What did you have the laptop computer hooked up too?

Also, like that pic of the tree with all the conks on the side.

Is that an old 34 toughbook monkeyd
