On a call out recently that bearded munch and I received was a total road closure , police both ends and in between was a multi stemmed oak that brought down an ash tree about 60ft and straight as an arrow . It came out of a woodland resting on a stone wall and the main of the branches crossed two sides of the carriageway , we decided on further inspection to use the lights off the van and the police car to light up the arrear but after 5 mins of cutting the lights off the vehicles were blinding me so I decided to go with out any lights at all and believe it or not I found myself working in darkness ! Complete darkness but the job was getting done in a methodical manner me cutting and bearded munch dragging and chipping , after about 3 hours of cutting and clearing we had a good look with torches etc to see what was left , what was left was a treble stemmed oak and a single butt of Ash resting in a precarious position over a stone wall , between bearded munch & I the police and the stand by officer we decided that the tree / trees had to be dealt with there and then , after getting the ladders out and climbing up and onto the stone wall I could see it wasn't going to be as easy as I first thought , 4 ft drop into a void a resting tree/ trees on the wall dangling over the main road and all coming off a steep bank a mountain goat would have had problems keeping grip . I walked up to the up rooted root ball first to ascertain the situation , not good at all multi stemmed tree/trees resting on mud bank and walls , " umm how do I tackle this " I was thinking , as you know you can't go on a training course for this sort of thing this was just going to be a cut and pray job .. " Switch all torches off " I said as I was getting blinded I decided to go in blind so to speak I was cutting , clearing , praying , shaking the lot ... Crazy I know but I truly believe that night my guardian angel was with me ! The job could not of gone any better if it was on level ground in daylight ! Skill or stupidty ? .... What crazy things have you guys n girls done , lets hear them ! Stay safe ...
