excellent photos - but please please in future use correct personal protective equipment when using chainsaws - if not for your own safety but to instill good practice into the younger generation.


To avoid conflict I have removed pictures from the events throughout the weekend where no/incorrect PPE or practices took place - must think of the children


A lot accomplished this Meet despite the chilly mornings and nippy nights.

Over a couple of days, two large dead standing trees were felled

No Chainsaw PPE

Let it be known publicly I diddn't nearly fill the tent with hurl, I got out in plenty of time, the demon like sounds were all put on for effect and I barely touched cloth in the undercracker department, the sickness bug was a breeze, I really don't know what all the fuss is about....

Great pics Martin as always, many thanks.

Are we having an extended meet this summer during the holidays with a stong emphasis on foraging as before, would be good to add to the lessons learned??
