Can you imagine some of the drama that has visited that wall from the Jocks.
The screaming ....slashing ....clubbing...cutting ....hacking. I bet it was the worst posting in The Roman Army.
"Ayup Septimus....here they come again"....
..."i'm sure i killed that kuunt yesterday".
"We're surrounded on all sides... Good... you're obviously in the right place".
Count me in to that. Did some tabbin along part of the Wall after a fortnight at Otterburn. Can't remember any details but I will ask an old pal who was there with me.

Jim; I've always used Stihls and been quite happy with them. An 070 with a 30 inch bar for all round use, and for climbing work, an 020. Since I retired (ha ha) I got myself a Husky for doing small jobs. The Grandson in the avatar is using a plastic replica! He's got more sense now than to become a penniless knackered old Treeman when he grows up.

Got one of those 372XP's myself Jim,and a small Husky with a 18" bar that I rescued back from Mick after he 'borrowed' it for about 15 yrs,they're hard to beat!
Lobbed a 30' tree down in mi daughters garden with a hand saw, med sure I was lashed on and the ladders were also lashed on before I ventured up. Okay til I got down to the stump, and 3' diameter, took a couple of days to get through. 1 Para bred them differently-f***in thick or what!
Did the same with a cherry a few years back Ron, wasn't as tall as that mind. took it down in stages with a bow saw. Hollowed out the stump drilled a couple of drainage holes in it and made a good plant pot. Somebody told me it was diseased, so not knowing any different I took it down.

3' stump, hope you left it about 3' high as a garden table?

Well it was deceased by the time you'd finished with it!

Yes and it meks a good bird table, but sprouts new growth like f**k! She wanted artificial turf down, refused to do it on the grounds that all life underneath would be kaput
