Use what you've got mark, it was roped up but I figured if it went it wouldn't take me with it.

Finally got this one ticked of my list of things I'd like to try. I wasn't the best but not the worst he's ever seen have a go. So I'll take that as a small victory. Then got the truck with road tyre well stuck 🤦‍♂️ removing said small victory into defeat. Couldn't upload the videos but they are on my Instagram feed for the next 20 something hours. Also second skid steer turned up today.

Like a Christmas present and play day out. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Incredible piece of kit a forwarder. Fingers crossed he said I can do a free day in January, I said sure as I know you'll be playing catch up the next day.

Some from the last few days , willows where easily dealt with bagging an old 16mm lowering rope high up and pulling out with the chipper winch... made a change from cutting every things into little bits...



Gutted though to see this on a site my father and me cleaned out all the windblow 7 years ago ... now it's just flat.

I was informed today that there is up to a million tonnes of wind blown crop at Keilder Forest.

Nice job on the cedar, but grim work to do.

Cheers Mick, it wasn't awful to be fair, lots of passes down the crown and back up again and a lot of detritus collected in my clothing along the way though. It was quite nice to stick with a silky all the way through, haven't done that in years. 

 

I can just about enjoy a job like that as long as there's no more than 4 hours climbing involved.

I was chatting to a harvester driver today who had been called to clear wind blow on the forest roads and he recons the estimate was less .but that could be just for the west of the forest where we are.. I did have the FC ringing up on Sunday for hand cutters to get the roads opened around spayed Adam as they recon it's been flattened but again I've not seen it first hand.. it's bad though , village up the road still has no power or water.
It's going to deflate the market for sure !
