    Yep, all the brush was leaning out to one side, cos the rest of the crown had fallen off years ago. It was twisting in the wind, and not nice feeling at all. I cleared the centre and the top first to get some weight off and it felt batter after that. Then cleared the one limb to the side away...

    Some rigging involved. This is a varegated sycamore grafted onto to common roots. Two large limbs failed in the past and decaying at both points. Careful rigging required. I post this mostly as I think you'll like the setting....

    Ash tree removal

    Tanner, I'm not quite sure what your asking?? The cow hitch is for attaching the pulleys in the tree, thats all I use it for. Then I tie branches on using running bowline with or without a half hitch or a timber hitch and half hitch together. Are you confusing cow hitch with a timber hitch?

    Ash tree removal

    Chris, that river flows on about a mile and then goes through my families farm land, we all used to swim in it as children. Never see any kids in it now unless its a really hot summer. Anyway after that it flows another 8 miles or so then joins the River Thames heading to London.

    Ash tree removal

    The neighbours have been complaining about it for years and now want ot put up a new fence, so asked again for it to go. Owner agreed (and has run out of firewood) so down it comes. No planning restraints in that area so the owner can do what they like, but also they removed the Ivy at the base...

    Ash tree removal

    This is little saturday job we did. The tree is right tight in a corner of a big back garden, there is a drop zone under slightly less than quarter of the crown, with one limb above the DZ that would do for the lowering point but it was much lower than we would idealy have wanted. Either sides...

    My latest effort!!

    No the audio on these cameras is quite bad and mine seems worse than others, it maybe faulty but I quite like the effect. You can hear wood breaking and carabiners clipping but not much in the way of saws and talking.

    So I had to switch the rigging to work in the other direction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXlqUXRxiUo And then after a bit of free dropping on the easy side I could carry on rigging into the gap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q67H3T-rDk0
