Very nice! Did you do any further work on the tree, or just remove the diseased branch/stem?

'winching a top off' - wow! that one really shattered on impact.

Really impressive falling, 'go big or go home' as they say.

It was pretty dead that tree, we often fell tops off like that, mainly to keep the brash by the road while allowing the timber to be felled in another direction.

 

The three tops were felled by 3 different climbers, white hat=me, orange hat Finn, yellow hat =Andrew
