The move is confirmed.

Postby PapaW » Thu Feb 15, 2007 6:02 pm

So I've acepted a position at the National Truist Lanhydrock estate just south of Bodmin, Kernow.

Goign to be living on site as of March 19th of 6-8 months :D

Its such a fantastic estate.... 1500acres of woodland and a lower valley woooded river with otters. Amazing fungi, and 500-700 year old oaks. Loads of stuff for me to do I'm really looking forward to it, finally doing somthing I want to do.
Will be getting me Chainsaw, brushcutter, pesticide licence paid for and possibily getting a doormouse handling licence (hardly anyone has this) Plus a few others... If I were to do this off my own back it would cost in excess of £1300.
Working 4days a week in exchage for rent free and bill f5ree accomidation onsite. All I pay is a 3rd of the leccy bill.
I'll get all the full time experence I need. Fantastic!

Will have to get a few days a week at a local pub to get dosh for van fuel food etc but tjhats nothing and I'll have so much m ore time to film and surf with there being way more bodyboarders in the area and the KBB crew of course.

(and I'll deffo have time for the SW meet. :D:D

aye Its because they are an endangerd species. there is a established monitoting program on the estate. Very elusive animals and dispite being so small they can have a terrotory as big as a 400 square meters!

Man that sounds good, always wish I had an outdoorsy job. Congratulations.

Bit worried about the sound of that on-site accomodation tho, potting shed anyone?
