I present to you our extreme pets! Brown one is Mr Sniffles, grey one is Mr Pickles.

My first thought when I knew we were doing it was what mechanical device could save our poor bodies from the punishment of strimming! But it is honestly too steep for the Robo Climber type of machines. It's hard to get perspective from photos, but it was near vertical in places. If you dropped concentration for a split second, your expensive machine would be cartwheeling in no time!

After three days of doing said strimming, I can confirm the above statement is 100% true!

Yes I had hoped there might be someone here who can help! Sounds like fairly straightforward work to be honest. They're back out there in November if anyone wanted to meet up on site for a look.

Two very good friends of mine are moving to France, and have bought a place near a small town called Axat. They need some felling done, and brash chipped or removed otherwise. I think they are keen to keep timber for firewood. About 14 trees in total. So I’d imagine there is a few days work potentially. Is there anyone out there who could be interested in the work? Or can anyone recommend good and trustworthy help in the area? I’d be over there myself to do it, but latest offsring is due in a month so a jolly to France may be frowned upon. Please get in touch if you can help.

Hello all, To begin, I'm having trouble uploading photos from my phone. So I know the answers to my queries may be hard to give. But basically, I'm after some ball park figures on what money one could realistically expect to get for some walnut timber. Main stem would go in about two pieces, both about 7ft with 7/8ft circumference. Then there are some funky unions, and a further load of less diameter limbs. If I can work out how to add photos I'll do so. Any help or info great received. Thanks in advance.

Brilliant! I'll take a half day off then as you won't need the services of the Cumbrian Not So Compact Loader! -
We always need bigger and better toys John!

No, I do get annoyed. I tell someone though, honesty is the best policy.

Seems to me like this thread is a lot of climbers and boss men moaning about everybody else! As a time served groundie, I can say with confidence that nobody is perfect, climbers and boss men included! There has been plenty of times I've wanted to drag a climber out the tree and chip them, or give the boss a hoof up the backside. It works both ways, but not everyone is useless. You just have to find the good ones and stay working with them In my opinion if something is wrong or annoys you, do something about it. If said idiot doesn't learn you then have a real problem. You can't cure stupid, as is said a lot.

In fact, it was the job I've got a photo of on here as my profile picture!
