calculate your costs for felling and extraction ( plus clear up etc ) then deduct that from roadside price , this will then give you a starting figure for negotiating the price you can / will pay .........if both parties are in agreement !!! do not forget felling licence , bat / wildlife survey etc ...and all other bureaucratic bumpf !!

You have only been here 5 days , hardly any one has had the opportunity to dislike you yet !! ? and yes the roads can be awful ....what is 20-25 miles as the crow flies can take at least an hour to drive ! I hope you are well practiced in reversing ..

Perhaps some Guardian readers are confusing Robinsons and Robertsons and assuming that he is racist ( which some how has become the greatest crime ever )......https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=robinsons+golliwog&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Oua488NlhoXG9M%3A%2C1V7HjIU5GG6OhM%2C_&usg=AFrqEzfR7uaAk9vhEB7JozSn_Sm2dxuI4A&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwisn9-4xczcAhXHZ1AKHfD2BfEQ9QEwCXoECAYQFg#imgrc=V56UjszBl5-ZTM:

Found exactly the same type of excavated bees nest in my woods today , would prefer to have bees than badgers .....

Yes I have seen quite a few Birch and Willow suffering as well ...

no apology required , I hope you do not think I am being pedantic, but if you are buying ,milling and selling timber then it would be in your own best interests to know what species you are dealing with ?

Pretty sure that is a WRC !!!

Could you post some pics of the foliage , because I find it hard to believe that is WRC looks like Sequoia to me !! happy to be wrong !!

easy for me as I own some woodland !!! although camping is only permitted 28 days per annum no idea who keeps count though ...

I was at Meadfoot Beach this morning at 06.30 am and did see a few big vans parked up , no idea if you were one of them ,,,was another fantastic days weather ....f$%k work ! .. I spent the day in the sea !!!!
-
The road on the seafront at Meadfoot beach torquay has suitable laybys , have seen vans overnight there before , right next to road though , but not really busy at night , East facing so if weather is good you could wake up to a sunrise over the sea looking towards Thatcher Rock ... also some other roads very nearby may be suitable , one spot overlooking Hopes Nose is parked on all night by fishermen ..... nearest toilets are at Meadfoot Beach though ... Another nice spot about 1hours drive away is South Hallsands beach ... again great spot but no facilities at all , also east facing for sunrise ...

Spent all day in the sea yesterday and was still too warm ...usually pleasantly fresh this time of year , lovely clear ,calm water though ....sadly working for 3 whole days in a row before getting back in the water ...happy days ...

I had a trip to Snowdonia on my motorbike last weekend , and saw Chalara all over the place it is in Devon as well , on one recent trip across Exmoor there were entire woodlands dead from spruce bark beetle , probably we are the only ones who notice such things !! The Welsh will probably blame English Tory Scum !!! I blame cyclists holding up traffic and increasing pollution ? , however the speed limit on motorways in wales has been reduced to 50 mph now ( to raise funds from speeding fines to pay for cycle paths )

If he was acting as "self employed " what could he use to offset against tax ?? it was the companies van ,tools, advertising etc etc ... -
You will also need to watch your total hours , especially in one day ...ie lets say you drive for 1 hr in the morning , work all day with the machine and then do a long drive home ( from Scotland ) you could easily fall foul of the rules , working time directive esp ...

Had a bad day ??????????

Will this be yet another case of supposedly clever , highly paid people introducing a badly thought out badly worded piece of legislation , open to mis-interpretation ?? Only time I think it will be used is by complaining neighbours !

I had a Goshawk nesting on land I bought ..... read this.... 400 metre !!!!!!!! exclusion zone during nest building ( for Forestry operations )...https://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/RIN267.pdf/$FILE/RIN267.pdf

A guy in my area recently has been in court for collecting eggs from rare birds , including Osprey , Golden Eagle and ended up with a suspended sentence and a nightime curfew during the nesting season .... this is about as serious an offence possible so the probability of getting in bother for doing the job described above is extremely unlikely
