    yep he is doing very well still comes out on the tools most days. i think he has got an ancient tree semminar next week as well he is busy. chippers playing up at the moment not throwing wood chip right to the back of the lorry. like an asthmatic trying to blow through a straw.

  8. nathan marshall
    yea it would have been great just to chip straight back into the hedge all hail the big chipper and lorry instead.
  9. nathan marshall

    it was something else today a real eye opener and not too many people were about a lovely winters walk all i need now is a dog to take on a walk.

    doing a bit of research of some of the trees we are planning on climbing. the avenue of limes were planted in 1672. the whole wood was declared a SSSI in 1954. pretty impressive
  20. nathan marshall
    as said i would get a few pictures of possible trees on for the rec climb, i went for a stroll today though the woods to capture these giants, i also got a few of the oaks from within the park. the snow has been lovely round here.
  21. nathan marshall
    im gonna take the camera out this afternoon and have a look for a few of the contenders and take photos.
  22. nathan marshall
    well i think the 2nd of feb will be a good date not too far away but im sure the snow will clear by then.
  23. nathan marshall
    thanks tony that will be great for some help with the limes as i know over the years there have been a few failures we should try to keep safe. being local you know a few more trees that may be contenders for the uk gems. are those sweet chesnuts on the canal down towards ricky or up towards the grove ??

    funny old morning 6 oclock car had no ice on it a very dry night but was still -3 got to work all clear not even the sight of any new snow, arrived at the first job large ash to take down in a small garden all very swift but the blizzard hit at 9 on the dot as the forecast predicted by 10:45 we finised and there was a very heavy blanket of snow everywhere and made it an intresting one to take away a nicely loaded lorry of chips and logs. well done to the lorry thank god for diff locks on it. lets hope it does not come down anymore for tomorrow we have another big takedown but the MOGS will be out for that one.
