Hi, just got back from a weeks hols in west wales, snowdonia..... Stayed in Criccieth near Porthmadog.. As we drove around saw lots of tree guys working and lots of evidence of some large scale tree works, probably county council jobs... All good.... :thumbup:

 

One thing that i did see though was a tracked timberwolf chipper with a chainsaw next to it. Other than that the layby was empty...? Was a bit surprised to see no one about especially with the problems of theft, etc. :confused1:

Over here on the west coast we don't have the same problems with things going missing as people seem to do in the rest of the UK. The odd thing does disappear but it it's not half as bad. I still wouldn't leave a chipper / chainsaw in a layby and leave site though. When I lived in southeast England, if it wasn't bolted down it would be gone !

Bloke I did a bit of work for years ago told us a story of his brother doing a bit of fencing somewhere up the hill around about Dalwhinie (middle of nowhere to those of you who don't know), anyway they'd stopped for lunch and taken shelter in the back of a peat hag, they were doing a fence next to a path at the time, and left all the tools (saw, hammers, pliers, etc) lying on or next to the path. Two walkers came up, saw the stuff, one turns to the other and says, "isn't it amazing, anyone could just lift that saw and be off with it". At this point a voice booms out from the peat hag, "no they (expletive) couldn't". Walkers apparently had a brown trouser moment. :lol:

 

Point being, just because you see something that looks unattended, doesn't mean that it actually is.
