Corsican pine for a change.

[Rupe]

Dismantled this today.

 

The corsican is a bit obscured by the Scots pine in the first photo, but you can see it poking out the top and left hand side. It had a big side branch sticking out to the left, easier to see it in the second photo.

 

Underneath there are several nice Yew trees to be retained if possible.

 

We could drop the ends of the side branch off directly onto the drive, then we lifted the larger wood with the grcs and lowered it in a gap behind the larger yew, so as not to damage it. (the yew).

Here you can see the secondary rigging point we used to keep the loads away from trunk. It worked quite well. All branches could be swung round to that one side and dropped in a little gap between the yews.

Nice one Rupe, looks like a peach of a job. Great pics

[Rupe]

And some other pics. Difficult to get many photos when all hands are busy, so most were taken while chogging down as there was less other work to do.

 

Got some video but not great. Will look at it at the weekend maybe. Not sure I can make it anything very informative.

Cracking day for it Rupe, wet here.

 

Nice job.

 

How did it chip? I always find the bigger needled stuff a bit of a pain, but it seemed to disappear quickly enough!

 

BTW did you charge extra for the Holly?
