and the mystery is unveiled, and retreivable too. the direction of the tail looked as though it wasnt attached to the climbing line in the pop pics, mind you i'll be lucky if i can tell one end of my line from the other by the time i get back in my harness, lol.

 

good job ace

cheers for all the comments guys! I really enjoyed this job, nice a simple, also got try my new Home Made Landy Winch Bumper

 

The reason behind the job is that its for a land owner that my granddad does a lot of work for, we had a few other trees out of that woodland, and they wanted the top out of the two poplars as they are by the road and just for aesthetics from there house i guess

 

And yeah that is a home made pulleysaver, does look a bit weird in that pic now i look again.

really?

Some people have strange ideas of how trees look.

Anyway my original "why" was meant to be, why did you cut it in one instead of just going a bit higher and taking it in 2 or 3 sections so as to avoid squashing the hedge?
