  1. apparently he was only a couple of foot off the ground doing a hand held cut. his saw caught his waterproof jacket and dragged his arm towards the saw. if all goes well he should be back at work in 3 months. if its bad he will only have feeling in 2 fingers. its the second accident like this they have had in recent years. i dont know the lad apparently he is a subbie. i got told this by a local consultant who used to climb for ambleside.
  2. i get a few big jobs with decent access. did you hear 1 of amblesides lads cut his arm badly with a climbing saw 2 weeks ago? i hate shifting timber from backyards.

  5. he is based at witherslack now. i was subbing for his step son today, he has a timber trailer and a 16" crane fed chipper if you ever need the use of 1. it seems every week another company starts up round here. i normaly only get across to grange and up to ambleside now.
  6. ive been doing tree work for 9 years now and the amount of people setting up in the trade has increased dramatically in the last few years. the only good thing is i get more and more freelance work.
