Woodlots

Now that, in a shooting context, is ambiguous.

First shoot of the season. No lead this year. Easier on the tangles and no doubt his neck. Harder on everyone’s hearing. He was generally good on the whistle but I did have to use my big voice a couple of times. He responds quite linearly to volume and intensity. Which is fine for me because I’m a metal and hardcore punk vocalist but probably less enjoyable for Maureen, 68, next to me on the beating line, trying to enjoy the countryside. He was pretty good. Stayed close. Got a bit big for his boots later on and went further. Had a word. Fine again. Bumped a hare on the last drive. Massive thing, all of about eight feet away. Nearly managed to dive for him but I’m slow witted. Willow coppice btw. Headland mulched for harvester next week apparently.

@Joe Newton do you have any connections up there?

Looking for information on people qualified to loler climbing gear in Staffordshire/stoke-on-trent area. Any and all information are greatly appreciated:)

ditto, Justin’s shows were ace, bit of a blur though 🤣

Oh, the noncey Duke of York, He had 12 million quid, He got it from his now-dead mum, To hide the things he did.

New to owning a log fire and looking for some green/wet wood to cut and split myself living in the Bradford area. If anyone has some and need to get rid I will be willing to pay for delivery.

Pristine lawn and ancient paving slabs ruled that out Rich.

Why not just fell it back into the banking with a pull rope tied to one of the vehicles and drag it out? Do Von realise now he will have to get extra LOLeR checks done now it has been used as a crane/load handler? 😛

Good Morning Nice one Pete. Good news indeed. Sorry I'm late Stubby. Caught up on all the missed sleep this week. Lots of lime to cut/split and stack. Bollywood evening in local pub tonight. Curry, Music and good company what could be better? Have a great weekend.

Yesterday’s job was a sycamore on a bank beside a moat. Pretty straightforward apart from the stem logs that we couldn’t drop because of a bridge and uplight at the base, and couldn’t risk them bouncing into the moat. As they got heavier they couldn’t be wrestled into the cage as it sent the weight limit over. Cracked off with a keeper rope, second man bailed out the cage then turned the MEWP into a crane. Worked really well. Not massive, about 50kg. Lovely spot. Joseph Conrad’s old house. IMG_0003.mov IMG_0006.mov

Id ring L&S, they will get in stuff from Makita even if not listed on their website.

Morning all, Local woodchip delivery first, then helping wife clearing out the house of an elderly lady who is now in a home. Have a good weekend.

Morning, you’re not quite ready to take the easy road yet Pete! Good walk with the dog yesterday and pub after for a few hours. Frosty here this morning.
