You'll be felling stuff like that in Kielder by the time you're 40 Ross!

Was up Kielder with Hutch at Christmas.

 

There's some big stuff around the dam now that harvesters wouldn't touch when the time comes, good mix of broadleaf in there now as well.

 

Lad called Blacky was harvesting near Dad and Mams when I was up last, mainly windblown Sitka on the MOD.

 

Hope you're well mate.

That's a brilliant film - thank you for posting! Sad to see the big old trees coming down but absolutely fascinating! Those blokes were double-hard, we are all little girls by comparison!

did you see how fast he spikes up hahaha, if they came back and had all our new shiny stuff they would make us look like babes in a tree

One of the best vids I've seen thanks for posting.... Amazing how they did it then.... looked like it was a case of clear felling then moving onto the next area which is a shame..... but still incredible to see.
