First week or so back after christmas

[Chris Sheppard]

Before Christmas we made the desicion to crack on and finish off the Pine we're clearfelling so no more of it blew down while we were off. We were getting sick of fighting throughj the deep rhody in places with the tractor so set about crashing it down, snedding it up, leaving it all where it laid and then called in a bit of help (dunno if these will come out in the right order!)

 

First time have had a digger on site and am now a bit more convinced it's a worth while excercise.

 

All we need to do now is a bit of crosscutting and forwarding

Whilst none of the pines blew down over Christmas, the guy's arboretum didn't do as well. Noble Fir went and took a biggish Douglas with it. Nearly took a statue with it that's apparently priceless and missed most of the guys fancy Rhodies. Made clearing up a bit of a job but we fettled it today
