    after my thread where i cleared up one of the main stems of a beech had blown over. we were back again today to remove the remaining stem climbed spiked up got to the top and it didnt feel right, so i swung across into the next tree along and stuck my rope in that one then swung back, took me 25mins get up tree and 40mins to get the tree all ringed down. had bit of breakfast split all the wood by hand and ended up with 4 loads of split beech home by 1pm. reason for not straight fell was some of branches would catch the next trees possibly get hung up. plus old fence which has a big dent in it from the storm damage and didnt want to add to it. all comments welcome. enjoy.

    another little willow reduction as usual they wanted it harshly cut back off garage and towards there house, but think it turned out into a nice shape, horrible day for getting round the tree. really windy and peeing it down with rain and no branches till tips and loads of moss made for quite a slippery half days work. still all good fun.

    nice job that steve, hate them re-reductions, esspecially when they have been hit hard the first time around, and theres loads of re-growth and no decent anchor point. looks good shape though

    only got a couple of images of rigging. first pic is a average zipline set up. second pic is a set up a line between two trees so i could get the pulley right ontop of the stem i was chocking down because it was on middle of a patio garden and zero drop zone. hope these can be of use.
