More Poplars...

[Mr Ed]

Seem to always be slaying poplars lately.

These were awkward - right on the boundary, previously topped at 30 foot, but over 100 foot high now. Rigging was 'entertaining' (at least it was for me - Pete McTree was'nt quite as entertained...)

I dislike pop's. i take it there is no other way of climbing them than with skipes

[Dean Lofthouse]

I'd make Pete leave some of that crap on his harness on the ground, it would half his weight and he would work far quicker.

I dunno, I've never tried climbing in Skipes.

There eas enough to climb for pruning, Just have to watch for getting our foot stuck.
