Tonight's joy, lifted it's root plait(what there Was of 1) and hung up in trees at opposite side.

Police closed the road for us to drop it, big step cut and yank the bottom of with the winch till it fell.

Couldn't belive it but while we were actually winching it down a Car pulles up at the cones, Driver gets out and kicks a few cones out of the way shifts the police Road closed sign and drives towards us, luckily the tree dropped just as he set off and missed his bonnet by about 5ft - clean pants probably needed.

Copper wouldn't tell me what was said but I guess he'll be having to pay the station a visit in the next few days.

 

When I worked for the council we had a police car blocking the road, blue lights flashing, I'm half way through a felling cut and a car mounted the pavement and drove through the landing zone as the tree started to fall.

 

The officer got the registration number and said he'd make a visit as soon as he could leave us.

Evening boys and girls!!

 

Has anyone had any calls yet with regards to storm/wind damaged trees etc?

 

Update us when you do get a call, and try and get pictures if you have time... It'll be good to see them all and read the stories!!

 

Stay safe guys.

 

Cheers
