  1. Using my Sherlock Holmes like investigative skills I managed to identify it as either meta menardi or meta bourneti both types of cave spider (although due to a lack of caves in South Norfolk this one had taken up residence in a disused pheasant feeder)
  2. Great cos it but me on me bellend.
  3. Can anyone ID this beauty
  4. That's really cool😀Not sure how you could ever work it out from that vid as it only shows you 2 cuts or is there a full version?
  5. The one on the guys back is theist striking Sorry
  6. That's why I posted! Igot soaked this afternoon as my army surplus goretex type have been proper chewed by mice in the long dry spell😥
  7. So 10 months on..... Any progress?
  8. Personally think 10 quid is too cheap, the guy who's changed his mind is yet another one of those people who don't appreciate timber or the effort and time that goes into producing it!
  9. Could it be demountable making the vehicle more versatile?
  10. That's a lovely piece of work, how big is it?
  11. Social media 😳
  12. My 2003 one is 3.45m3 with mesh sides sell as 3.5m (with a peak)
  13. And on the way back from picking up the 2way chain can you get some tartan paint, a hammafor and some glass nails
  14. Why did the cows return to the field marijuana? It was the pot calling the cattle back!
  15. I'll have 2
  16. I've looked in to this a bit and its relatively easy to get a licence to have 'official' wedding in a wood in a wood but it means you HAVE to make it available to anyone as a venue. Insurance wise the small woods association provide block insurance for members, well worth joining. Personally, if they just want to jump the broom or point twigs at one another, I'd just let em get on with it!
  17. Good stuff, every day's a school day😀! No wonder the afforestation programme failed at over10k an acre!
  18. Yep they'll outlast oak/chestnut for estate work!
  19. I have a college in to fell some of my trees while I'm out getting paid to fell other people's. Initially had trouble with chaotic mess and random lengths as most o the instructors are from arb not forestry backgrounds and students going into the same so I had to explain the importance of uniform lengths and impenetrable dead hedges and now everything's good EXCEPT when independent assessors come in and ignore specifically marked trees for felling and take ones down that I want left and then leave random little heaps of crosscut logs everywhere. I know of at least 4 other sites where,sadly, the owners won't be having training providers back. I think they just need to see the jobs right through which gives students a better idea of the importance of tidy site tidy mind= happy woodland owner😀
  20. Hi, are they definitely leylandii or possibly Lawson? If they are the former and have reasonable form (ie straight single stems) they are a very durable and useful wood, Lawson is also reasonable. Both are often better if only lightly thinned in the past due to their habit of producing lots of co dominant stems. Would've thought youd have to dig out the stumps though!
  21. The oak leaf is excellent: simple but striking, love it!
  22. Yep, young ash and coppice regen deteriorating steadily and larger trees showing much thinner crowns and when felling last winter wet were brittle😕
  23. 50 a t delivered is a good price, I'm paying a bit more than that roadside and I still turn a profit😀
  24. Do you mean standing or felled timber trees or garden/amenity trees?
