  1. Any chance of a picture of your Landy in the snow?
  2. But for me,The Yew of Yews is the Llangenyw!
  3. Thanks Sean...i think my next adventure will be to seek out all of the oldest Yews in Britain!...including the place Mr Croft mentioned...Kingley vale...
  4. Cycling to and from work each day although its only an 8 mile round journey so i do it as a sprint...arrive at work buzzin and raring to go!
  5. Excellent point...Why smash it down and take time and journeys to the chipper as well as a raking up over a larger area?...when lowering a limb means you are able to take control of it from the tree straight to the hopper:)
  6. Big thanks to Clive at Winson woodcraft...Aka...Delabodge. For sending me the baby rattle he made for my Grandson,now inscribed with his name,Birth date and weight...it's lovely and i watched him create it in about 4 minutes:thumbup: i think it's Apple wood.
  7. It is Jon....but mine is £4,930 pounds cheaper...AND i can get a full climbing kit and a chainsaw on mine:rolleyes:
  8. On my back from work i just stopped to look at the beautiful machines in Bikelab...and yet the use i have had out of my £70 Raleigh and can't imagine they would be any good around central London anywhere near the practicality of my old faithful:cool:
  9. This thread has made my day David:)...Yews are my fave tree and i am obsessed with them...my favourite read is "the sacred yew"which has an excellent gazetteer of all alive and not so alive veterans as well as girth measurements of yews in the uk...the Totteridge is looking in better health:thumbup: a couple if years ago i went in search if the Llangenyw yew...found it...estimated at around 5,000 years old.
  10. Climbing planes in the rain is mainly for the insane:D:D:D...done it many times,but not today Al,just grinding an old stump:)
  11. Grinding an old Plane stump...i reckon this block is spalted...
  12. GREAT WAY OF SELLING YOURSELF!..That's the way to do it:cool:
  13. It was growing on land being washed away by the river and deemed unsafe....
  14. Well...the pathetic attempt at snowfall turned to rainfall...so more fells...i thought we only did parks and greenspaces:confused:this was on the edge of a woodland so more traffic managment...typical rellentless London traffic:thumbdown:
  15. February is my favourite:)
  16. Doing some fells in an Allotment next to an old graveyard one of the lads reckoned he'd been talking to a woman that passed through...the place is empty we said...no one around then noticed this in one if the plots....Strange:confused:
