Yes mate, hard graft but really fun at the same time. Used all the kit in the bag apart from speedlining. Had near perfect weather aswell which was a surprise for Wales, considering the rest of the Uk were getting battered with gales and rain. Haha.

[David Goss]

not a bad fringe on the beech as well

Did you have the pickup parked there when you dropped it for extra drama?

[Big 'Ammer]

Looked like a nice few days, Frank.

 

Shame someone had left that pickup in the way in the last pic, you could have felled the tree into the car park otherwise and saved yourself all that climbing....

It was a very enjoyable week, nice trees to work on, nice weather and good company! It was nice working with you again Frank, it's been a while! glad I invited you along! The Teupen LEO 23GT was a really nice bit of kit, excellent side reach of just over 11m I think, proved very useful with the Ash in such an awkward location! I counted the rings on the Ash and it was just over 200 years old, shame it had to come out but it was in a pretty bad way, some sections I cut were 50cm in diameter, completely hollow with barely 2cm of sound wood around the edge: a big health and safety risk in a garden open to the public.

It was nice to work in such a beautiful location!

Where's our next tour gonna be then Frank?!

[Dean Lofthouse]

The Teupen Leo 23gt is the one I want, I just need to find £71,200 and I think thats plus vat or you can pay all the vat up front and pay £456 per week for 3 years

 

It has the same outreach as my current MEWP but has an extra 5m of height

 

How did you find it for ease of setting up and tracking it in and out ?
