No point wasting it. I rinsed out a whiskey bottle earlier with a tiny splash of water to get a last little taste of it.

Baliquidder 110 mile north. Back again tomorrow. 
 

Felling for brash as harvester and forwarder can’t get back up the main route.

Cutting for a 951XC and it can handle that like it’s nothing. Pretty impressive.

Big trees today. This one took a solid 5 minutes of battering and resetting wedges to get over.

 

First bracken control/brushcutting job underway here an hour from me. 
 

Cutting around the hardwoods, and small pine… Learning curve to say the least… 

 

Last photo is the section I’m into next 0.4 hectare will make it my aim to smash it in a day.

At least bracken is not too tall and you can see the tree guards, are just having to clear round the trees not all the area?

Aye. For the hardwoods. 
 

Pine is about 10-30cm in height. Bracken is about 60-70cm in that area, some up to 1m.
