Yeah lovely place to work, hopefully more work to come as well. Yeah i could see the old man of kent from the tree I was in across the pinetum, was about 400 yards away. When I got down I went and had a look at it. They reckon 51 metres tall, still looks small compared to the stuff that Reg puts up! If we get a bit of downtime there hopefully I might be able to zip up it but apparently theres a hornets nest to step over half way up!

Got quite a bit of helmet cam footage but can't work out how to do it!

Think this is the old man of kent from the top of my tree

I did a little work up there a few months back Jay, Its a lovely place to work. Took this photo

Have you met John Allen yet? the Operations Manager. He was my boss for a year or so before he started working there.

That tree doesn't look like it will last much longer.
