You’re a quick healer Peds. 

 

Nicely done.

Cheers dude. Yeah, arb work is bloody brilliant rehab... end of week one I was destroyed, end of week two I was exhausted and sore all over, end of week three I was still knackered but I've got grip strength back in my hands and I'm lugging around big weights like I used to be able to do... and now, week four, I'm just finishing work each day just regular tired, and pretty bloody content. Might even go for a jog this weekend. 

 

No pictures today, dismantling two 10m ash trees and giving an ancient apple tree a nice aggressive haircut.

Beech takedown from today, lots of cradle rigging and blocking down but went nice and smoothly.
First time properly getting some GoPro footage and have some decent shots. I’ll make a post on here once I’ve scratched my head whilst editing it.

Looks like a fun one, that ^

As a newcomer to this sport, I have to say, I am amazed at the difference in weight between beech and, say, sycamore. The noise of a bit of beech hitting the floor... bloody hell.

Don’t I know it, it’s all being logged up and man handled tomorrow ?

Are you moving timber with a barrow when you are going to move butt with digger.

Did you have to clear the crap off the deck? We do a hell of a lot of bridge works up in North Yorkshire but its manly road kill rabbits and sheep shit that we come across.
