A quiet end to the week,no line clearance (thankfully) just hung out with MonkeyAllan. He was just finnishing up a Tree Survey he had been doing in Durham.We then collected one of the Mogs from a big site in Richmond and did some maintenance on it's Chipper back at the yard.The yard is getting bigger now that all the wood has been split or sold and the machines are all sporting new attatchments.latest is the Spearhead for the Valmet....Premier Trees is on the up! 8 inch tracked Forst on the way...maybe a Big Bandit too.....good times😎 and possibly some openings for a couple of new climbers too so watch this space........as always,have a great weekend folks!

Whilst I was away in the scilly isles I saw this crane and thought of you silky. They were extending the Quay in Hugh town on St.Marys.

Fantastic Pete. Cranes are beautiful and functional and this is prime example....in my eyes anyway

[Pete Hart]

I have a fascination for them too!

I opperated a crane in the Netherlands for a while that moved on tracks and in pairs we moved concrete dam walls...the slabs weighed about 100 tons each! We would sit or stand on top of them with our remote controls as we stacked them....(that was a long time ago)

Alright Kevin! That picture Avatar really is the double of you😃 it's uncanny...the factory in which the concrete was poured and set was exclusively an Indian workforce...it is the hottest enviroment i have ever been in but those guys were able to handle it. The Dutch opperatives and myself worked outdoors
