A good read

[Andy Collins]

"A Woodsmans Tale" by John Cooper.

This book is a compilation of short stories from 50years of tree work, from felling big trees, using big ex-military vehicles such as Matadors and Militants, to blowing large stumps and trees with explosives. Many of the stories are such that many of us can relate to, (well maybe not the explosives!!) but its an easy, interesting read with cartoons and pictures from back in the day. I bought this book from eBay for around a tenner. Well worth a read on these miserable eveinngs.
