tree work gang, Porto del Rosario the capital, no chipper but a truck with hi-ab the hia-ab had a huge rake like attachment used for squashing down the brush/clippings..

Palms everywhere very few trees, only the odd Euc or scraggy little pine

extreme topping, in Jandia nice resort south of the island

Thinking of going there for a few days in the sun sometime this winter. Is it cheap enough? Looks pretty barren though that is the nature of the geography there

went there when i was 15....such a long time ago. that was before my desire to work with trees. it's a nice place (i went just before christmas so it wasn't too hot)

i went about five years ago. i really liked it. plenty of good seafood and the weather was great.

To behonest I thought it was rather expensive, mind you the pound is crud against the Euro, nice place though you wouldn't be disapointed with the island, weather or the food etc

I've been to Fuertaventura three times now and love it more each time. The grub is absolutely fantastic. Windy though, so prepare to get sand blasted when you're on the beach. Nice pics, Lee. I've often wondered who actually carries out the work and whether they use similar techniques and gear as what we do.

 

What resort do you stay at mate? as for tree work , they deserve an award for some of the worst i've ever seen, flush cuts , tears, you name it....

I love the truck in the second picture, what is it?
