In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

[silky fox]

The last two days has seen the temperature rising and as many firms out there may be experiencing the work coming in that we have to fulfill so it's all habds on deck.When i arrived at the yard yesterday the big yellow ball in the sky was burning it's way through the thin cloud....in the back of the crew cab it was unbearable...my workmate was out like a light....even before we got to site!

Across this bridge were many tall skinny trees to clear from the lines...we had to negotiate 8 foot tall balsam...nettles...bog land,branches and a small river. So bad yesterday that there was no way i was going to take my mobile into that sweaty Jungle....was a tough day heatwise but enjoyable climbing....and as for today!

I'll let the pictures do the talking because i'moff to bed..working in the sunmer destroys me! Far too warm today...Anyway like i said,thispost is about Sam...he's a very capable contract climber that will cost you £140 and for that he will take care of any tree for you. Top bloke.
