Only known of one woman doing tree work in my ten years in the biz. I was running a big contract job last year and we got in some hired help in and one of them was a woman. Her name was Vicki, she was a proper grafter! She kept up with the rest of the lads,felled and dragged like a good un. She couldnt lift all the logs up into the wagon but she was trying her best and that was good enough for me. I got her a job with a friend of mine down south and she is still there. Get stuck in and you'll go far girl! Good luck -
I manage a large tree plantation in southwest scotland and we are outside 365 days a year. We all use waterproof jackets and trousers from Denmark called Bontex, they are the only truly waterproof clothing ive come across. Good value and heavy duty. Full set is about 50 quid. Cant remember the website,il get it from work and post it though... Worth a look.

Evening chaps, I have recently moved to Scotland and my new place has loadsa land with the house. I always used to help my dad when i was little making sloe gin and i still enjoy doing it. I like collecting the sloes, adding it all together, waiting for it to mature then drinking it! I want to grow some on my own land but i dont want to wait years and years for them to come up with the goods.... Is there anywhere in southwest scotland that would sell mature blackthorns? Or, how well do they transplant? Any thoughts or ideas would be great...

Top stuff, easy to find your way around. Shame about the stihl gear though...

OMG! I was at my mums one day a month or two ago and she got a phone from an Indian/Pakistani sounding bloke saying he was calling from "her" bank and he needed her sort code and account number to locate some money they owd her!!! She looked puzzled so i asked what was up and she said it was the bank. So i took the phone and asked them to prove this and when he couldnt i verbally tore him a knew one. Scary cos some old dear on her own like my mum might have given that info out! I hate em...
