Felling a 30" oak of a 40m cliff

[Ian88]

A few clips put together from some work last week. The cliff was crumbling away with a water pumping station beneath it. Descaling and tree removal from face before meshing. Just finished just over 4 weeks of trees on cliffs work, not all like this one mind!

Glad it wasn't windy Ian. Well done. Who was the job for ?

[Ian88]

Yh mate, I am glad it wasn't windy as well! We were doing the work for a company called Vertical Technology and think the work was for south west water.

It's nice to do something different for a change isn't it:thumbup1:

I have just spent the last couple of years out in oz doing cliff face work. Love smashing it of and seeing it disintegrate as it hits the floor.

good work! was expecting it to come back into view again...

Wow that's impressive, I live just down the road in kilk!

Jealous, that looked fun!!!! Only thing I don't get, is why you were climbing it prior to the fell?

[Chopsdaly]

Me too ??

Hi Steve and chopsdaly. Would have been fine to straight fell, just thought it may be a good shout to remove limbs first to stop it gouging the cliff out as it went down. Glad we did as it went right down the face. I would have loved to see how it went down the cliff and how it landed! There was some one else at the bottom filming but some how they missed it, gutted!

Cool, thanks for the explanation. As for the person who was supposed to be filming at the bottom!!!!!!! One time only deal and they screwed it up
