Very sandy ground wouldn't want to work in it when wet!

Only a baby Fendt but very handy, couldn't get wagons as close to the dig as we got the tractor.

FFL is a metre lower than existing ground level, they are building onto existing buildings.

I'll sort the missing pic later :)

Outdoor fireplace, so en vogue at the moment. Although maybe a little ironically pointless

This weeks job, haul road to the edge of a forrest, 500t of Crush. Apparently the larch trees have a disease so the entire fell needs to be cleared, they have already chopped down 10000 tonnes of timber they reckon the same again is to come out, ive never seen so many logs! They also have a machine, a harvester which literally harvests the buggers!

First up...the road in

Image

Next a Giles style pic

Image

The decimated hillside....they have only just started here as well!

Image

Next...if you look at the center of the pic then up a bit you can see in the distance an absolutley massive pile of logs, it will be 50ft high and half a mile long (ish)

Image

This is, as ive learnt a "forwarder"

Image

Lovely place to work..the forrest of Bowland....or soon to be just Bowland lol

Image

I quite like this job, there will be another few miles of roads the forestry lads reckon, ill try and sneak some pictures of the harvester, we can hear it roaring away in the woods like a bloody monster but can see it!
