I spat on my fingers and tried to thaw out the connection but as my "equipment" was retracting into my Trou,I had to pull the Biner off.

Needless to say,some skin came too.

 

Crossing my legs reading that, although thinking about it you could have put the biner back in with the rest of your equipment and waited a while. Still I suppose panic had set in... ooh I don't know wether to laugh or cry.

Came down from the tree for a swift cuppa, went to get back up,stumbled over some brambles and stamped down hard on my ankle while wearing my spikes still.Just missed tendon and had to sit in Otley casualty for three hours.

Plus did'nt get paid as could'nt finish job!

I was felling a small Ash when it bounced off some Hawthorne and flew back at me, hitting me on the arm and knocking me to the ground. Escaped with some scratches and a very bruised and stiff arm.

 

Scared the pooh out of my other half who was nearby, when she saw me hit the ground she didn't know weither to grab the phone or run over. I popped up quickly calling "I'm ok!" But was hurting quite alot.

 

Still carried on felling for three hours after though, an't the credit crunch great!
