You did good Jon, but today's Gold Medal (for me) goes to this 72 year old.
-
Not only did he strip out the tree so Smoothly...being on the ground snedding. Crosscutting and basucally processing the branches was made easy by this thoughtful climber.However......He was udung ZigZag on blue tongue through a Teufelberger pulley saver so even in the slippery-est lichen covered Sycamore tree (IN THE POURING RAIN) Was text book......Just Sayin:)

Break over...Jon prepares to get in the Zone!

Midday means Dinner break! I am a great believer in as many pauses and breaks in the day as is nescessary to boost Moral...stamina and therefore productivity...it's not rocket science:rolleyes: I go down the Chippy...couldn't find Tuna so sttled for cod...time to meet the client and he was kind enough to supply a heater in his Man Cave and Coffee and a look round his creation....in 1972 he took 18 inches out of the middle of a Range Rover...joined it up with a 3.5 V8...what a noise from it!
-
Meanwhile we kept chipping and Jon kept dismantling and the rain hammered down...
-
Bloke turned up to collect cord wood /logs. He Built this trailer in 1968 (same age as me:))....he is 72 by the way and loaded the trailer himself very quickly up until climber chogged lumps directly into it...

You crack on mate! Plough on...it's a outdoor job...rough with the smooth:rolleyes: Job Spec;Sycamore dismantle on roadside...Traffic Managment in place on two blind bends.

What better way to start a very wet day, than a simple bacon omlette (3 eggs) with a tiny sprinkle of Extra mature cheddar...
-
Going to try the RCO diet....first an omlette...then protein bar and for lunch.Tuna!

She's over the road Jon....wait 2 minutes.

Race over...folk band playing. Fuse has blown in the Pub....last Old Rosie in candle light. life is good.

I run my ropes through pulley/cambium saver every tree so species shouldn't matter (in my opinion)

Bet it tends well:thumbup: I thought 11.7 was sweet.
-
Wow! a thread from 6 years ago! David, what is this crane attatched to? A lorry of some sort I presume,

RACE!....... Hey Mick Stockbridge!... they didn't half peg it down the old Cobbles:cool::cool:
-
Never a dull moment here...bike race. Practice laps.

It is a tipper Jon. Not sure where he's from. He's a very private chap. Think he just gets on his bike and rides all night until its time to climb.very complex character...not even sure what he looks or sounds like:rolleyes:
