Tim Bendall

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

First, does anyone know of Tim Bendall? If not this thread dies here but if you do I'd be interested to know how he's doing...

 

He was my NPTC instructor / assessor years ago in the Gloucestershire area but I think he was seen to be so good (and he was - worked for Geoff March Tree Maintenance, Stroud and could sned larch quicker than a harvester) that NPTC asked him to be a director or some such promotion...

 

Anyone? If not, neh bother.

lol sned a larch tree quicker than a harvester???!

[Chris Sheppard]

I could do that too - make it jump far enough off the stump and when it hits the floor most of the branches snap off (works best on steep banks though)

 

Don't think that's quite what TCD had meant though
