Had to take two awesome QOSA songs off for stupid copyright stuff so now comes across super boring, but hey ho! Gave it a go!

Good work Jon,

 

Robinia are one of those trees I never fully trust when im out on the tips, let alone them being uprooted!

[Mark Bolam]

Nasty job, very well executed.

Shame about the tunes!

Little Echo looks great.

Looked good and the saw looked like it was chomping through the wood. Have you any clips where we can hear it cutting?

Thought i recognised Al's truck...Saw the job when he posted pics of those leaning stems and with Ivy just to make things worse.Small bites was definately the safest solution.Well done chaps,i bet you were happy when you got your feet back on the ground.Did Al get the pints in afterwards? He's a great bloke to work for.

Nasty awkward stuff done well, thanks for posting.

 

Were the stumps left like that to keep the slope secure? Robinia coppices pretty well.

What you can't see from any of the photos is just how exposed the work position was.

The trees were half out the ground on the top edge of an extremely steep sandy bank and they were leaning severely.

We set Jon's rope through the top of a skinny Robinia as a redirect and then anchored to a Sycamore behind that, way back from the slope.

The drop zone was a very rotten deck that was on 10ft tall stilts!

It was a crane job really but that would have meant a road closure and taking down 6 phone lines.

Yes exactly that. The client stipulated 1.5m stumps.
