Cutting in South Scotland

[Donnie]

New guy got a tree hung up so had to bomb it. 
 

 

Another few photos today of some bigger stuff, bit of fir and spruce.

First job under my own name today, cutting windblow off a forest road/fairly busy foot path in a nearby forest.

Sometimes you’ve got to send it over your shoulder…. Another day another dyke 💥

That's Talla Reservoir in the Scottish Borders, but I think you're supposed to notice Jake's shiny new truck!

It was a lot of back weight and lean, cut too much of my back cut and it sat back and couldn’t lift it with the jack and I couldn’t be arsed struggling anymore so just gobbed it out the other way and sent it the other way…

Here’s some of Megget tower which is just over the valley from Talla. Used to work on these resevoirs for a short period before I got into cutting. Pretty cool place. 
 

Talla again ft. Honda CBF 125. Managed a whopping 70mph downhill in that thing, with 22 stone on the back that’s fair going…

Anybody else this tight?
