Her's one from way back in '91. Shows the power of dear ol' Mother Nature.

This was up at Box Hill, Surrey. I discovered it after a jolly good blow in the woods (a la Rainbow vid).

I was mighty impressed by the forces at work here - the crown must've been some sail.

Great shot Austin

 

 

Looking at the butress flare, it would appear that decay was at some point in evidence.

 

 

All the more impressive really

Looks like the weta is dragging out some deadwood for you. I take it they are "friendly" and dont bite or sting?

Some of those Redwood shots.

 

Thats a great pic, and a nice pick too with the crane. Excellent work, although you do realise that using a crane is cheating right?

 

If there's any more pics of the job please post them, always like to see interesting removals.

 

cheers

Theyll just give a little nip thats all, the more gentle you are with them the better. no stinger either.The cave weta has a foot print of over a foot!

Sad to say it was - this was on NT land and they couldn't have anything around that somebody may get a splinter from.
