I have a 4X4 truck. However as a personal/quoting vehicle is 2wd.Its the first time since my teens that I han't had a 4x4 as a daily driver. I would like a 4X4 but is not really needed.

CHARLIE DON'T SURF! Seriously,I'd go. By the sounds of it,your mates know the score.

Looked like a tidy job mate! That wood will burn well once its seasoned for a while. -
Great Video Pete! Found that really interesting,thanks for sharing.

No not at all,I used my "Pruning Spikes",they have ultra fine cylindrical Spurs. Looks just like insect damage from a distance. Yeah,my hands ache for a while when I start in that weather.But the more you use them the faster the pain goes away. Quitting smoking would help too.

I think this was set in Western Australia so it sort of counts. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7y9vtVG4eY&feature=PlayList&p=8307E13C66130418&playnext=1&index=22[/ame]

Some Birch and a couple of Oaks had been planted in the past.Also an Elm. A few of the Trees were dead or dying and will be replaced with Ash. The trees were quite small for their age,your right,the cold and limited light has ment a hard life for them.The growth rings on some of the dead tops we removed were tight as could be. Yes,seven of the climbers are Norwegian.I was the token foreigner. Took three and a half days.Pretty manic but the trees wern't all that big and often you could swing from one to another and not all required extensive deadwooding. About half of the Trees were on a path up to a Colledge,the few Specimens that were of the size you'd expect from a 200year old Ash were more sheltered and up by the main house.Unfortunatly these Trees were in a bad state and after removing Hazard limbs,they are to be felled.

I was part for a Group of climbers that went to Trondheim to deadwood 200 odd Ash Trees.The Trees were planted around 1800.We had a great time and it was nice to get out of Bergen for a while.Even if it took over ten hours each way to get to Trondheim.

Where does one get a "accident profile" for Norway,Sweden.Danmark and Finland? I for one would like to know. Make interesting reading.

I'm up for it! Might try and hire a Transit van and skip the tent idea,do abit of "propper tree work" on the way and recoup some travel costs.

I would go the academic route.Its not like theres loads of work out there at the moment,so you won't be missing out whilst your studying.Also I would think that having more academic qual's might make it easier to get a less physically demanding job in Arb.

Has the vibration gotten worse? Seems strange that the vibration comes in at a certain speed,then goes away only to appear again. Can you take off the rear drive shaft in your Shed,jack up the front and run it to have a look?If you take off the front wheels then you'll have plenty of room. Take the front shaft off.Engage difflock and still take it to Manchester.

£2000 Thats my best guess considering your hiring in help and removing any wood.

Felling some roadside Trees last week in the snow. Chilly but beats rain!

Good to know mate! I have a mate who is handy with a Welder,he wants some Oak planks for a table.And in return.......
-
That does look good! Do you put a sheet of Steel in the bottom of the burner,or don't the bottoms burn out of them? Nice job!

Larry was now sure that the two guys living next door were more than just "close freinds".
-
Its bloody hard to tell on Video,also standing on a slope above the Tree can be deceptive. Anyway,these guys would deffinatly know as they are true Professionals.[ame= ] [/ame]
