[silky fox]

All the gear I needed to take this down nicely hung up (i try never to put my kit on soil)ready to put on a reduce this to logs and a mound of green and they decide to just have a couple of foot off the top....I'm not bitter...it's their tree and I have £30 more than I had this morning;)

Then went to tip at Joseph's. He's just bought a little Entec and is very pleased with it. Cheap and cheerful.

Not much Jon..no work this week....hammered the internet searching this morning...used my last pounds taxing my vehicle which was very important. A neighbour asked me to remove a connie for them then changed their mind and just asked for it to be bashed down a bit.bought some great gloves for it expecting Sap Central..very lightweight but cast them aside after 5 minutes....just can't work in gloves...still got £30 for the job..it all adds up and I have a couple of big climbs next week.hopefully a day or two down near you with Marc.

£3.99 from Homebase. felt like a very light and flexible second skin but other than dragging of feeding a chipper I can,t wear gloves.

Same here mate..I have never worn gloves when climbing. I use them when rigging, dragging and feeding chipper. But I only use leather gloves (beal). For best protection.

I am not a fan they make my hands all sweaty!! Up here in sunny cumbria trees are generally wet, so within 30 mins of working the gloves are the same. Nothing dries as quick as your skin!!

I don't have much feeling in my fingertips so gloves turns me into the most heavy handed ham fisted person..when climbing or using a saw I prefer using my bare hands...you need a hand up in sunny Cumbria at all this week?
