Joshs Sweden thread . . and a bit or Norway

[Frankie Lawrence]

i highly recomend it bobby:thumbup1:

 

not any set plan as yet, definatly NOT the UK! prob stay here untill the snow arrives, ive been recomended canada by mike, and by someone else whos been there recently, maybe more of europe, or anywhere really, will just wait and see what happens/falls my way

 

I think thatll be the beauty of good luck and im sure youll keep us all posted while we sit here in the boring old UK dieing with jelousy:sneaky2:

nice one josh, i tried rock climbing years ago, the first root was big hand holds, i ran up it, but then the holds got smaller and further apart, jeeeez it was tough on the arms and hands, your right brute force is no use but it will really sharpen up your tree climbing mate, you can grip onto the smallest nugs on trees but that was when i was climbing every day.

Great thread Josh. Best of luck to you mate. I can remember having a go at the climbing wall at Capel a couple of years ago and thinking it looked a piece of piddle, Soon fell off as soon as they tilted it backwards. It Looks like fun though. Lost count of the amount of times I've heard "You're a tree climber? I bet you love rock climbing...." Erm, No.

Quality pics mate, looks like the place to be. Re-assuring to see reductions are undertaken over there, Wasnt sure if they held they same views as the US.

 

Keep on posting the great images mate

thismorning i woke up to a beautifull sunrise, blue skys and the morning sun burning off the nights dew

 

 

 

drove 5 min to the worksite, a rather nice house with big oaks in the grounds, and at the waters edge, surroundings-

 

 

 

 

 

 

spot the 020

 

 

mr will up an ash

 

 

a little bat popped out of here, flew off before i got the camera

 

 

had morning coffe out on a jetty at the waters edge

 

 

this afternoons oak prune, supposed to be crown clean, and 50% thin, the clients wanted more evening light, so i decided a crownclean, and reduction would be more benifical to them.

quite pleased with the result 1 before and a load of after shots

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

about 2.5 hours with the silky, no guidance

 

 

 

now just need a nice blonde swedish girl to give me a lapdance to round the day off nicely

[Stephen Blair]

stunning pics josh, great reduction and thin out mate

[josharb87]

cheers stevie, never really done small reductions before in the uk, really enjoying them though, not having an 020 hanging off my belt, no helmet:001_rolleyes: and catching the rays whilst running round the tree.

will have to get a new blade for the silky at this rate though

[Stephen Blair]

no helmet, yikes i just cant, even if i nip up to grab a branch i need my lid on, too many things in my eyes when i was younger me thinks and branches scraping my ears. lol
