Didn't know it was till we got to site and at an hour nd half travel in tractor didn't fancy turning round again, had Road closure booked for today and had to be done before Christmas as the soil is getting shifted between that and new year.

The river is the swale which is the fastest non tidal river in the country and at 7am was completely clear.

Thanks, figured it was a "well we're here now so,,,," sort of thing.

The Swale is a dangerous river.

 

My dads brother drowned in there when my old fella was 7. His brother (14) jumped in to save my dad after he was caught in a flash flood. My uncle got into bother and the older brother (21) who was a very strong swimmer by all accounts. He managed to get them both out but was washed away. They found his body about a week later a few miles down stream.

Terrible story Rich. What was your uncle's name?

First of many for a development company.

For any boffins, the saw is a 395xp with 36" bar.

 

[Rich Rule]

Obviously I never knew him as my dad was only 7 when it happened. My Surviving uncle was called Ray and the eldest brother was Edward Rule.

 

The grew up in the villages where Gray Git is based.

Deadwooded this oak today. Well, removed all the deadwood over the road and reduced the larger dead over the copse below to leave for habitat
