What..............no MEWP !

[David Humphries]

This aging Silver Back, was contemplating something a member said a while back "Use it or lose it" sommit along those lines, when I thought - best drag on the 'motion and get me spreadin wasteline back up where I once enjoyed Gibbon like aspirations.

 

Boy was I rusty

 

Nothing particularly flash going on, although I'm liking the Howard hitch & micro pulley

 

First shot was one of the team making safe the tear out yesterday.

The rest are yours truly in action whilst all along thinking; "wish I'd brought the bloomin MEWP out"

 

Didn't fell the Tree Stevie , as were leaving it as a Monnard which will be re-pollarded on cycle.

Funny you should say that Dean.

There was a free fishing teaching event going on on the opposite bank.

You must be rusty, breaking a branch like that under your own weight, perhaps you should have gone to the gym a little first.
