Hi after recently moving to leeds i have found temp employment with a self employed groundworker working on a site doing drainage and stuff. He also had me along one weekend to help him with a block paving job and i enjoyed it so much i would like to learn this and one day ( i know i wont be able to set up as a pro and do peoples drives overnight) i hope to do this for myself. Any ideas on the best way to go about this.

See the HLTG page for details of one and two day courses I'm running over the next few months. The schedule for Jun-Oct will be published some time next week.
