Thanks.I really enjoyed doing them. The top hedge was on the edge of a field that because of the weather resembled something from the Western Front.

Looks a job well done, you should be proud of that and for keeping a traditional skill going. Wouldn't mind giving it a go myself sometime.

Yeah there come in handy when your working the wrong side of a barb wire fence. Thanks for the positive comments. To be fair I lay with the South of England Society who have a number of National champions on the training team so you tend to learn good habits quickly as they don't hold back if you've got bad ones.

Today's efforts. Got me a 2nd in the South of England improvers comp today.

well done on getting second you must be chuffed hard comp to win as some of the best cutters judge it. and some good cutters who have been trained like you how did you score and what did you need to do to get that first place. i know Garry and co would have said.

with that under your belt no prob with Surrey. have a go on the island 23rd of febuary that's a good comp be some good cutters for that event.

well done .:thumbup: conditions looked good up to your armpit in mud yuk yesterday was dreadful howling rain bloody cold to lay in that weather your all mad.
