Nope.... not quite (close though) !!

The plan is to hit the job with 3 climbers and a mewp... some of the trees will be better climbed as it will be quicker than tracking the mewp to them, and others in small groups will be better dealt with from the mewp..

 

There is a possibility that I may take a crane in to take out around 5 of the trees as all the arisings have to be taken away from the site and there is a fence to negotiate.

 

Trees are coming down due to risk more than anything, but the vast majority of them are just pruning jobs, although they are around the 20m mark and have a good crown clearance so throw lines could be frustrating and spikes are out of the question.

 

Matt, you should think about using Jamie and his Valmet for moving the timber. Also he is a crack shot with the throw bag!

 

I would be happy to do some climbing if the dates suit. No spikes = no problem.
