must be a bit of ivy or something looks a bit like a climber (ivy is a climber) - I thought it was a stunt too

Hi TF,  cud ya post up a link to that YouTube video please.  Regards, Ken

Hi Ken, sorry , found loads of solo rigging vids today, but not the one I was referring to. I have tried to sketch it, hope you can see it. Basically lowering on a loop of line if multiple branches and no groundie, so you untie the tail of the rope (not necessarily climb line!) at the top and pull the rope back through the carabiner(s) once the cut piece is on the deck and retrieve your rope to repeat

Big day subbing for Mark Broadley at Sequoia.

Manky previously topped pop that Highways had condemned after a Picus.

Max Forbes-Gower climbing, me and Von Harrington on the deck with Mark.

4 truckloads of chip, 2 12t grain trailers of heavy.

Good support and brews from the residents.

Done just after 5.

I need a bath now.

I'am confused .You don't seem to have any traffic management at all. Is that the norm for the UK?

Judging by the way the vehicles are blocking the road I would guess the entire road is closed off out of view in the pics

Hi Kim,

 

Steve has it spot on. We had possession of the whole road from 8.30.

 

It's a private road which is a dead end, and all the residents were warned well in advance, and were all onside.

 

The main road on the other side of the tree was a different story....

A job from this week, decayed beech to remove.

Awesome, did you get to keep the honey?

We were just grateful that a beekeeper came out and collected it the same day to be honest.

The hive didn’t look too big so thought as the bees seem to be having a rough time we thought it was best to let them keep it. I mean I did just evict them from their home.

[Steve Bullman]

I couldnt have resisted taking some home personally

Nice one with the bees Ian, top drawer.
