finished this off today as original climber could'nt get back to it.real shame but she had to go riddled with ganoderma and very close to a busy road.would of been nice to do with a crane,oh well dream on.left the but standing at 10ft or so.hopefully bill will upload pics of tree before he started.

Do you know if there was any decay detection carried out prior to removal order?

 

Copper Beech per-chance?

Good job on that! I wonder how many "supprises" there are in that Butt for your chainsaw to find?Even one nail every three years adds up to 100!

Bring some extra chains mate!

nice pics, lot of cord to move. Do you have to move it or is the local farmer having it..?
