I hope it was local!

 

Kit for the win!

I only work local. Yup, a lot of timber and machines to move.

11 years ago @Rich Rule, Stevo and I took down a big beech, totally bolloxed merip and kretch.

Client wanted it left as a monolith for bugs and beasties, which, in a fairly quiet part of woodland we thought a good call.

The estate is surrounded by a security fence, though, so we left it at a height we thought wouldn’t hit the fence if it fell.

 

I think our judgement was ok.

Nothing too noteworthy, a horrible acacia to re-top over some cables and stuff and  couple of oaks to dismantle. 

But……today is my 60th birthday!

 

So next time some 28 year old starts moaning about how arb is destroying their body etc. 
Point out how to the callow youths how (after nearly thirty years) I am still a Greek god of a man, body like sculpted marble, agile, strong like lion, fearless and skilled!
Anyway a good day was had, happy to be above ground and still on the job.

Happy 60th birthday Mick. I celebrated my 60th four years ago by making sure I did a climbing job on the day. Don't envy you all those hidden spikey bits on the Acacia.

Fair play Mick!

Use it or lose it!

[Mark Bolam]

And Joyeux Anniversaire!

Happy Birthday Mick, although It’s all down hill from now, all you have to look forward to now is sickness and purgatory. 👍

Happy Birthday Mick, fare play at 60!
