The value of my woodland has just increased exponentially. Finally a market for softwood stumps that will rot away nicely then need replacing.

It's grindingly slow, stuck with it but as Doug said needs to explain it a bit more.

Lucky you could start your 251, mine always has been a pig, still holding shed concrete down.

Steve Harley - 'Make me Smile' - one of the classic tracks. R.I.P.

Just got around to clearing the European Hornet's nest out they made in the old hay bales as I posted earlier. Pretty impressive multi storey job.

One of these if you've got mobile reception O2. SpyPoint LM2 SHOP.NATURESPY.ORG The SpyPoint LM2 wireless wildlife camera, available at the NatureSpy Shop. All purchases support our non-profit environmental and social projects.

Our experiences differ markedly then.

Mine cost me nothing other than letting him come metal detecting over a couple of our fields.

Have to agree about the 251, I bought one have hardly used it, feels unbalanced, underpowered and its a pig to start. Sits in the shed holding the floor down. Must find a mug who'd like to buy it.

We had European Hornets make a nest in some old hay bales in our Hay barn. When we were putting last years crop into the barn my wife said she had been stung by a wasp on the arm. We went back that night after darkto spray the nest with wasp nest destroyer, next thing we had them coming out of the nest and we only just got back into the pickup in time. They were crawling all over the car and we realised just how big they were. Quick blast down the road cleared them. Next day her arm swelled up like a sausage with liquid oozing from the wound and very very painful, visit to A&E who wanted to admit her but she wasn't having that so was given some strong antibiotics. Luckily have a tenant who is a professional pest contoller. He came and had a look and identified them as European Hornets which he said were nasty things. He put all his gear on and sprayed nest site with professional grade chemicals, next day still some around so he sprayed it again which did the trick. Very vicious things who will defend the nest after dark. Took a week for swelling to go down and arm too return to normal. All I can say if I see any again it will be big steps in the opposite direction and let the professionals deal with it. She was lucky to have been stung only once, dread to think how bad it would have been if she had been stung multiple times.

Husqvarna 450e light well balanced and has handled everything in our wood from Hazel to Mature Norway Spruce. Still going strong after 12 years.
