Fair few trees down here, mainly extending previous windblow pockets. Could have been worse...

 

Was on the archery course at Mellerstain in the central Borders yesterday, nice old estate woodlands with lots of big straight oak, beech &c. Main damage there was to tall SS in a steep valley, over in clumps of 3-5 with linked rootplates. Not a nice clearance job, particularly for the non-pros who were attempting it...

 

Spotted this oak, c.32" dbh, twisted and snapped at c25', the odd(?) thing being there's apparently another older spiral split to L of failure which didn't open up when it went, don't know how normal this is but it says something about the self-healing capacity of trees..

Got off quite lightly, expected a lot more trees to be down on our land than there is. This Ash tree went the only way it could of gone without doing damage to something else or landing on the road. The weather beat me to felling it

Armillaria + ganoderma + wind...

 

Fell in nicely between shed and hedge stopping 2' short of the house.

They were lucky there!!

 

Had a big Silver fir to sort this morning, its well jammed up in a lime, its popped off ok, I took a lump off it and it see sawed and is now lying level both ends 15' up!

I forgot a pic!

Did some more of the windblown beech, got enough to get cars through. I'll need a big Hiab or machine to lift lump out.
