Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
Frank replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
My opinion is the only thing that matters, and my opinion is that there is nothing better than dappled shade created by a mature tree. Fact. Period. Full Stop. -
Do travel lodge have CCTV ?

my 2 penneth worth.. Rupe said it right on page 2 or 3 of this thread. You do only need a limited amount of training to be classed as competent to do most things this job has to offer. If you did nothing else but train day after day, you could have all nptc's and isa treeworker, isa certified arborist, pa1/pa6, ipaf etc etc etc in under a year. You would appear from the outside world as being ultra qualified and at the top of your game, but that wouldnt make you skilled. A top heart surgeon is a skilled profession. Although.....................Stuntfelling makes you skilled, Doing bore-cuts blindfolded makes you skilled, branch-RUNNING backwards makes you skilled. haha

I agree, some ascents are like making a brickie jog 3 miles to the building site.

Yeah, majority of woodland ones taken around Hornsea mere, the day I knocked that big Ivy clad Sycamore to the deck around Brockem bend (nasty corner requiring traffic management). The stick is still upwards at the mo, need to go back and coronet it or just fell .

tWas a thin / reduction / deadwood / clean old pruning cuts / crown lift. Customer wanted All bottom branches taking off and height coming down by half which I wasn't prepared to do so that was a happy medium. He was really chuffed and paid up straight away, so we legged it haha. -

Oh and by the way, all pics were taken with Apples finest 32gb 3GS iPhone.

Cheers, Rather than try and get a "perfect" shot, I like to shoot stuff that looks like real life, stuff you see, stuff thats happening, average day stuff. Working photography I call it.

I have started taking my camera with me everywhere because its built into my portable cellular telecommunication device. Here is a sneaky peak at what you may see on an average day if you were me. No particular subject matter, just things I see fit to click at, generally related to trees in some manner. Will add more as we go along. Please feel free to comment, question, mock, laugh, ignore or whatever you please.

I like to think of these 2 photos as being what a little dickie bird would see when it hopped out of its nest first thing in a morning. awwww.

haha, yeah but garden H wants 40% of the firewood and can you cut it into 8inch bits for him.
-
we measured the old elm stump that this group was making its new home on and it was nearly 8feet across. To give you a gauge on size.
-
was thinking of pollarding it. haha Nah, this old girls got years left, pruning regime is en-route. Deadwood overhanging road is priority. Then I think we will let the birds have somewhere to live for a few months. .
