And photo permissions? [emoji848]

Full security passes for all staff with crb checks and Referance checks but had these in place from previous works luckily as would never have got these processed between knowing about this job and the date it had to be done by.

I mean permission to take photos on site. Every military base I have ever been on has always had a strict policy, no photos

No nowt like this on this site, I checked, after all it is just the sports field, some areas it's made very clear in the job pack what's not to be photoed

You wouldn't believe the paperwork involved in this site being behind the wire on a military camp so planning permission was the least of our worries.

Is that catterick by any chance?

I'm surprised that you don't have to hand your phone over for safe keeping when you sign in, you certainly have to on Mildenhall and Lakenheath. These are both USA bases though, perhaps things are different.

It’s a rugby pitch in the background, can’t see it being an issue.
 
Finished up the clearance job.
 
This red oak had some sort of Ganoderma, outwardly fine, full crown etc.
Internally soft as pulp at the base.

That grab loader truck looks a handy tool to be be able to call upon, Mick. Must save you days on ringing stems up.

Yeah it’s handy, but don’t forget he gets that firewood, buckshee, a few miles from his yard.

 

We both do ok, but we both think that the other one gets the better end of the deal.

Which I suppose means that it’s fair!

Sounds like perfect equilibrium (or tension)
Most of our logs get dropped for free.
We don’t have time to mess about with it.

We aren't seeing anything that can't be seen from public roads or even Google earth. Would be different if we were working inside some of the buildings and taking pictures of the munition stores or armaries.
The us bases are definitely stricter like when we did a job on menworth Hill even our kit bags were checked over.

I'm with you Jon, the first time I worked on Lakenheath it took 3 hours to get clearance. They emptied two vans to search everything, strange environment when everyone you see is openly carrying a gun.
