Ash removal

[Rupe]

This is little saturday job we did. The tree is right tight in a corner of a big back garden, there is a drop zone under slightly less than quarter of the crown, with one limb above the DZ that would do for the lowering point but it was much lower than we would idealy have wanted.

 

Either sides of the DZ there are Hawthorn trees which are plenty tough enough so many of the higher limbs crashed into the Hawthorns on the way down, one even bounced right up and landed perfectly in DZ.(5.20)

 

Behind the Hawthorns there are various sheds and houses all belonging to the nieghbours so nothing could go down that way.

 

Only filmed up to the end of the rigging bit, chunked it down by hand after that.

Good stuff Rupe.

 

But it's meant to be a 'Diet Coke' break, and you are supposed to have your shirt off.

 

[Rupe]

Well, because I've never drank diet coke its best that I don't take my shirt off!! Couldn't resist the product placement though!! Advertising deal coming soon!

Enjoy that coke then? I like your floating rope retrieval, I understand it more after seeing that. Will be trying it out very soon.

Why did you take your spike off?

Ah, nothing like the black doctor to keep you going/heal all ills.

The floatign retrieval (is just an old biner on the rope) sometimes more hassle than its worth cos it get twisted round the lowered limb. Sometimes easer to throw the end down each time while ground is untieing the limb.

 

I'm putting the spikes on cos I'm running out of branches to stand on.
