The Arbalk morning register!

Morning, up out early a walk and then breakfast.  Got a funeral at 11am.  A good friend who was the ‘ Log Man ‘ he’s got a good day for it.

Morning all,

 

Yet another fine day ahead.

 

I had a problem with the leg sensors on my 2 yr old MEWP on Monday and had to ring CMC for advice. I have to say that the response from Pete Losely was excellent, so thumbs up for them.

 

They must get some angry/frustrated people on the line.

I always take my climbing rope or at least a throwline up with me, so I can pull climbing rope up. I would sooner lower myself from the basket than have to wait a long time to be got down.

Morning all.

Good day forecast. Hoping not to get bitten today, something had a feed on my arm already this week and it's bloody itching. Interestingly running hot water over it stops the itch for a few hours, no idea how it works but top tip!

 

Finished cutting windblow yesterday, the fun bit is done, got a row of brash to chip today and a final clear up.

 

Have a good one folks.

Horse fly maybe Doug?

Some Birch to re-top today. 
Clear and breezy, low 20s. Last day of this tomorrow, then back to proper spring.

Morning peeps . Have a good one .

Horse fly is definitely the prime suspect. Certainly not midges.

 

Surprised I didn't feel its hooves when it landed on my arm to be honest.
