Climb this?

[David Riding]

Don't know if this makes any difference to peoples view but the diameter of the lombardy was about 26 inches.

[Mr Ed]

Get up there you pansy. And yes, I would have climbed it.

I did climb it. But only so I could stick a rope in and do this

[Peter]

In the circumstances, with the time constraints, I reckoned I could just about sneak it down in one through a tiny gap between two trees. I'm sure it was climbable, but why bother when there is a viable alternative?!

i yearn the day when i fell a lombardy and the customer says "do you mind if i keep the wood?"

[Mr Ed]

oooh. nice!

[Bob Rolfe]

done a few like that peter the best one was on worsley green it had a massive cavity in the base but a good 5 inch of wood left around the outside so i thought what the hell lets go so i got my gear on and off i went whilst on my accent one of the lads decided to kick the other side of the cavity it caved in and turned to dust so i was left with a 3 foot tunnel at the base of of my 45 ft lime over the road. I tried lowering the first limb down but this cause the tree to sway way to much for my liking so i got the lads to stop the traffic and dropped the rest in the road. I fancied a more controled decent other than the one the tree had in mined for me got it done though it made my backside twitch a little and yes id do it again because thats why we all do the job it makes you feel alive gets the heart pumping and it gives you something to talk about in the pub when youve had a few. youve just got to know when youve gone a little to far and slap yourself a little for even contemplating it lol
