Forestry week

[Mark Bolam]

Bit of a change this week.

 

Straight felling some big Oak and Sweet Chestnut in a mates wood.

 

I'll add more pics later, but here's the first Chestnut. Inclusion at base, hence the high fell.

 

I'd forgotten how challenging forestry work can be, and tiring!

Edit, 3rd pic is actually of an Oak. Told you I was knackered!

How bigs that hinge:scared1: Proper foresters shoot the hinge, don't be ripping them stems. I don,t know whats the world coming to when tree fellers wear red boots, orange wellies are the only coloured boots propper wood cutters wear:lol:

Feast your eyes on that Ash hinge Deano! (Forgot to mention there are a few Ash to take out).

 

It's a bit weird thinking that in a domestic setting some of these trees would cost thousands to get down - if only!

 

Picked up my O2O earlier and it felt like a toy!
