Sweet Chestnut removal

[Nick Waring]

I Went on holiday to france, took my kit to do some rec climbing at my parents place.

 

one of there good friends over there had a sweet chestnut that has split in two, and wanted it removed, in i come. took around 4 hours to remove, would have been less if i had a bigger saw, and the stem would bloomin fall over.

 

More to come....
