  4. got YEDL to give us an 'out' for a couple of hours, broke the mewp hyraulics after we got the crown out, just stems left as wires went live and mewp was fixed, YEDL man (wearing marigolds) said it was ok as there was just over 2m between basket/stems and wires, obviously if there had been any branches left we would have had to arrange another 'out'..
  5. YEDL man said minimum 2metres.. so..
