Got a dog toy stuck up a tree

That toy cost over a fiver... Only one thing for it:

The two stems on the right were cut down to about head height - one of them had a nasty split in it from before and since the power company hacked a 4th stem down, the tree didn't look very balanced and it was only a matter of time before the split caused problems again. It's grey willow so it will survive

Bit drastic felling the tree, why didn't you just ask what climbing kit you'd need to go get it or if rock climbing kit would work :biggrin:

did you get the toy

 

Yes, although it's now lost again. They'll find it, though, it's somewhere in the field

Climb a cracked willow tree near a power line? Not bloody likely.

 

Can't your dog climb trees? Knew a springer spaniel that was forever climbing ladders onto scaffolding.

 

She doesn't do much. She's currently asleep under my bed.

 

Tree needed to come down anyway, the dog toy was just an added incentive. It will be vigorous again in the spring, no doubt

Ah, I didn't follow that thread, I'm sure you treated the poster with the same respect as normal. Wasn't stuck up a hornbeam was it? :D

 

I didn't comment on that thread for some reason, :biggrin:

 

He was getting plenty of advice and warned of dire consequences should he try something as life threatening as climbing a tree. Worryingly he posted a few days ago to say he's was going to put his plan into action, hasn't been heard from since!!
