Did this wind blown ash on Thursday, farmers tree which smashed through a dry stone wall and blocked the road.

Second tree is a mature beech which nearly took the side off my mates house!! He's a tree surgeon too! I met Pete at Kirkley Hall College and has been my best mate ever since, he worked for me for 5 years and is an awesome lad!

Still thinking of a fail safe way of getting this on the ground...?? Opinions welcome...

It has lifted one side of the root plate out of the ground and is hung up in a younger beech which is leaning now with its own root plate lifted, also its hung up in a larger beech and phone line pole.

I'm thinking of roping I to a mature sycamore next to it and accessing the fallen beech up the main stem, will then secure it to the standing beech, then nibble away at branches until all I have is a stem which can be lowered to the deck... Wish us luck!!!

Was wondering how you had got on in the storm, you must have taken the full force of that north westerly seeing as there's nothing between you and Greenland.

 

Aye bob, very exposed here, dogs were in the shed at the time poor buggers, but they were fine, guess you were a bit more sheltered at lochbuie?

Climb the standing tree, tie in, and cut and chuck / bomb the leaner down. Thats how i did the one on page 1.

We were OK here, just a few branches off the holly but Tom Lines next door lost 2 of his sheds.

Northerlies are worst for us as the wind accelerates down through the glen from the 3 lochs and we're right at the bottom, you can lie in bed at night and hear the gusts coming.
