Have you ever done timber contracting i.e. hand cutting, legging in in front of a harvester, other forestry work? There might be a bit of that about...

 

Never! But am definitely keen to! What do you mean by legging?

Yeah they are about 20 mins from me - though I think I'll wait and see what comes up before contacting them

That's good news though - thanks!
