wind blown oak, difficult access, worth it?

[stuckinthemud]

There is a medium size oak tree in the middle of an un-managed copse near me that was blown down in winter storms about 18 months ago.  I do not know if the tree was diseased or just hit hard by the storms. Access is difficult, over 100 yards from the nearest road, crossing two fences and navigating a steep slope.  Is it worth even taking a saw down there to see what condition the timber is in?  If it is a worthwhile exercise would it be best to rough-out carvings on site to reduce weight or haul out the timber in round wood logs?

Is it your tree?

Slab it in the woods, out with a Landrover,  but really depends on ground conditions. K

If you think the timber should still be ok,  I'll go have a chat with the landowner and see what he says. The ground conditions are really difficult, did I mention its at the top of a 20m river bank ?
