It has been a beautiful week, glorious sunshine, gentle breeze and leaves starting to show.
As such it’s bean the perfect time to be working at Torver near Coniston with lovely views out to the lake and the Grizedale forest.
We were called in at short notice by a forestry consultant to clear windthrown trees that had come down the clients hill side and into a neighbouring landowners field.
The farmer needed to turn his cows out to graze but the fence was damaged and couldn’t be replaced with the trees as they were.
I went on the job myself as the terrain was steep and needed some careful planning on site.
Christopher was working mainly with crosscutting and snedding(delimbing) the trees whilst Arun and myself controlled winching the timber back on to the woodland site.
As our climber George was away visiting family we brought in a very experienced forester, Finley to help with some of the technical felling.
Are the end of our planned work, we had time to clear the forest track for the client and get the majority of the fallen timber and brash out of the beck which is a water supply for the adjacent land.
