Yorkshire I always think is the most "brutal" style. Your picture shows much more brush left than is usual.

I struggle to take enough brush out of the hedge to impress the judges!

There were big piles of stuff left on either side of the hedge, I'd assumed that was due to the height of the hedge to start with, maybe 14ft.

 

A long run had been planted for the competition and each year they do the next section. This year they did the last section that had been untouched since planting.

Done a basic hedgelaying course with the HOEHLG near Tamworth last weekend. Never done any hedgelaying before but really enjoyed it. Hopefully I can get some hedges to practice on. Thanks to graham, alex, giles and bill for running such a great course especially in the crappy weather. Feel as excited about hedgelaying as how I used to feel about climbing when i started!

Went to the Scottish Hedgelaying Competition today which is held near to me, seemingly in complete secrecy. It's not advertised at all and I only knew it was happening as my mate from work was in the novice comp. Very interesting (but wet) day, met some nice folk, and agreed to enter next year as a novice!

 

This is my mate's section, South of England style

The Open competition winner was a professional, Peter Gibson from Cumbria who I think said he'd done Westmorland Style.

Anyone know what this Style is called, using an actual fence rail along the top?

I've noticed hedges laid in the Borders that appear to be identical to south of England style. Is that the local style and are there any differences to SoE?

My hedgelaying colleague tells me SoE is the predominant style in the Borders, although it isn't done with a binder on top as there are no commercial Hazel coppice in Scotland.
