All the trees are blowing down.... But?
Sussex Groundie replied to AlexB's topic in Training & education
I have had to deal with 14 of these due to the recent storms, luckily I don't take chances but think I need to go on a course. Ordinary felling is easy by comparison to this work. -

Sussex Groundie replied to crackoff's topic in Training & education
Have a look at Berkshire College of Agriculture (BCA.Com) they are based at Maidenhead but carry out courses around Berkshire, I did my CS30/31 in the grounds of a big college near Wokingham. -

Couple of links to places in Sussex to give you and idea of prices and sizes, I rented a stable for £65 pcm from one of the farms, most of the farmers would do parking and possible further yard space if approached. Workshop/stores Laughton Self Store, Self Storage located between Lewes, Uckfield and Hailsham in East Sussex

You know your getting old when policemen start to look young! Two fresh faced youngsters stopped me in the dark one night whilst driving my Transit tipper. Put me in the back of the Police Car to check me out over the radio. When they got a call about a robbery at a filling station they chucked me out! I asked why they had not searched me before putting me in the car, then put a multitool, secateurs from belt holster, silky from leg pocket on there bonnet.... left them to think about that one.

which splitting axe/maul should I get?
Sussex Groundie replied to John in Scotland's topic in Firewood forum
Although I have access to a splitting maul, wood grenade etc I still prefer my 4 1/2 lb felling axe every time, keep it razor sharp goes through most logs. -

Welcome to the Early Risers Club!. Congratulations to the new Dads, hate to tell you you have 20 yrs of broken nights so get used to it..you have 4am feeds, 3 month colic, teething, then just when you get your head down there 16 and you lay awake waiting for the key in the door or the phone call for Dad's Taxi. ~(Father of 5 so it can't be all bad)

HaHaHa I used to live there, in the summer it's 1-2 ft deep, kids like being splashed by cars to cool off, serious stuff in the winter though. These pics are from March 2008! Much higher in 2012!
