Back to normal then; and the next 10 days forecast the same. Totally and utterly sick of it and starting to have serious concerns for business now... A few log firms gone under down here this season, purely due to the warm and wet; but the wet more as it's ruined stock (like thousands of tons) with flooded yards. We have extracted about 2 lorry loads in 5 months! Killer.

I know how you feel TCD , weather here is brutal . It started raining at the end of October and a farmer mate of mine recons we haven't had a dry 24 hours since . Ground is sodden , can't get any kit into woods or fields .

 

If it wasn't for domestic work we would be in trouble , gonna take weeks to dry out the ground , even if it does change . Got up to snow this morning !!

I just tempted fate with that post this morning. At 8am the contract was stopped again (2nd time). Rich landowners seem to think we can afford to park the gear up and go off to france for 3 months
