    I've got a bit of birch and some blackthorn, first time i've tried burning the blackthorn, seems not too bad though.
  2. Highland Forestry
    Have had similar here too.. robbing sods.
  3. Highland Forestry
    I know exactly what you mean... especially if they are a straight fell - crash bang, crap everywhere.

    Have a meeting coming up to discuss the job before submitting method statements so I will try and find some literature to pass on to them to let them know the official position and back me up a bit. Should all be fine.

    I like alder... preferably big ones! Either Elm, Alder or mature Scots Pine
  6. Highland Forestry
    I hope it will be as easy as that... S.N.H are involved so I am sure we'll have a few more hoops to jump.

    Sorry! mis-read your thread.. You're right.. we won't need a shut down, both trees are approximatley 20m away from the line which is LV.
  8. Highland Forestry
    I know.... I'm expectng a slap from Jamie!!! hehe
  9. Highland Forestry
    Thats exactly the info I needed to hear.. We'll be able to get a shut down sorted and I can do the job myself which suits me fine.. Cheers Ed!

    Had my airstreams for 14 months now, in daily use and can't complain. Think I will replace them in the new year as they are starting to wear but they are a top class boot - I've never treated mine or polished them or done anything to look after them and they're still waterproof even walking round the woods, through burns, through wet grass etc.

    It's out of my hands now Jamie.. What a nightmare of a job.. typical beaurocracy gets in the way of a nice little job. We'll have to go for a shutdown, and the start date will be put back a while. Should all be getting sorted out though - will give you a shout if we need a hand.

    They're pretty damned ugly looking... Not my cup of tea spiders!!

    Martyn - not far from Alford mate.

    I could say a few different things, but I dont want to hang my washing out in public mate. PM me.. All I can say, is, you're not the only one.
  15. Highland Forestry
    I'm going to save myself the hassle and just organise a shut down and do the job myself.. The two trees are about 30m each, and around 50cm at the base - I can have them both on thier backside before lunch time!!

    58 kilos here.... Feel a bit weedy compared to the rest of you...! Eat like a horse, cant put weight on for love nor money.

    That happened to me a couple of month ago. Sectioning 5 scotties down near a powerline, had to leave two of them for the hydro who were supposed to be carrying out the work on the same day as us and then we were going to do the whole clear up operation and leave site tidy and complete. They turned up alright... 10 days late.
  18. Highland Forestry
    I see you have experienced the SSE boys before then!! haha
  19. Highland Forestry
    Could well be. The upshot would then be that I wouldn't have to pay out for the works as I believe they do it for free so that could be handy, but I was wanting to keep all the work in-house and hassle free. A nice job selective felling is turning in to a beurocratic nightmare.
  20. Highland Forestry
    Mainly because I haven't called them yet! Looks like I might have to though.
  21. Highland Forestry
    As I understand it (have been told) any tree within two tree lengths of a live line requires UA tickets or a shut down. Not sure how true this is, and would love to get some clarification as everyone seems to have a different opinion. The trees in question have a road running by them, approximatley 10m away and the LV line about 20m away.. it's a crash bang job, no tidying up necessary and no fannying around, they just need to be lumped down safely.
  22. Highland Forestry
    Two words.. Tilhill and Pulp Not sure who the harvesting manager is in your area but they will buy spruce pulp like it's going out of fashion.
  23. Highland Forestry
    Cheers Stevie - already have Jamie's number... hoping to catch up with him shortly.
  24. Highland Forestry
    I knew someone would want to pull my pants down!! No legal action here mate!
  25. Highland Forestry
    Bingo, Knew it was feshie!!! Was that through neil stoddart by any chance? The prosser boys are an experience ey? Did you meet Hendry????!!!? Derek and Donald are good lads... I was working up at Tulchan while you were at Feshie and Hendry did the extraction for us with his county.
