Pop pollard

[Peter]

The wind was about 35 degrees, gusting up to 45 degrees.

 

If you dont know what a 45 degree wind is, you've never worked in one!

200 quid, blimey, must be a drop in grain prices this year.

[combined tree services]

fence down, thump thump, 100 quid to the farmer with a manitu, fixity fence home for 11am, sweeeeet:001_tt2:

 

that sounds like my kind of tree work

[Mr Ed]

Ahh Poplar. Reckon we've killed more than a few of them Pete

At least thse hybrids are nicer than Manchester Pop.

Nice work, tight spot. I would carve the fingernails in the direction of the farmer, and put up a sign saying 'here's what we think of your deal'

[Peter]

That would have been a 2 cut jobbie in Queens Park

 

Instead it was a 2 day rig a thon. Oh well, it all brings in the pennies.

Good job Peter, i was once told by an old school climber that if your ropes going at a permenant 45 degree angle its time to get down!!

Out of intrest do you take any height out as soon as possible when its blowing like that? Or is it just me being a wuss.

[Peter]

I like to get some weight off the rigging point, not generally too bothered about anything else. That tree had stood in that exposed windy spot for at least 50 years, so I reckon it was probably used to it!

[Mike Hill]

Looks like you did a great job on that!

 

I don't miss long drags and narrow alleys at all.

 

Cheap pints and sunshine however......

[Stephen Blair]

well done peter, what a crap drag, the tiny chipper will go where a wheely bin goes, if it is a tight right hander then take off the hopper, as i said before 5 monster armfulls is a wheely bin, and that pop would of flown through it, but you work with what you have mate. proper job. 2 fingered pollarding rules.
