Rotten Ash Fell

Recommended Posts

Heyhey, last weekend I was on a scout camp near doncaster when I was asked to see if I had an opinion (or skill!) to take down a rotten/hollow ash, here are the resulting pictures! I think one of the scouts has it on video coming down which I will try get just for interest!

 

This was possibly the trickiest one that I have done, unsure as to whether I got the right (official!) technique but it went where I wanted it to go, and under my terms so it'll do me!

 

one safer campsite and a bit of experience or confidence building for me!

 

cheers

Ben

It would probably have stood for another 50 years with no bother, but it was over a scout campsite and main path, it was pollarded or significantly reduced Id guess at 20 years ago, it had come back fairly strong untill a few years ago.

Since then though it has really reduced canopy, and looking weaker and weaker every year. So the decision was made to loose it all together and open up a new campsite area.

 

I do have some pictures of it standing somewhere, Ill have to have a look!
