Very good Phil, I have witnessed getting things into the halls many years ago and machinery was a lot smaller then . I helped a mate get things down to Smithfield show one year everything had a timeslot to be taken in and if you missed it you were in trouble. -
Good to meet up with you as well , i only got home about 15 minutes ago ,M3 just past fleet services 4 lanes down to 2 lanes so very slow then M25 just moving around Heathrow that delayed me just over 45 minutes , it should be a 4 hr run but took 5hr to get down and just over 6hrs to get home ,been a long day 👍 but a good one

Well done ,i will bump into you on Sunday

It certainly did , half of it was hanging the wrong way so would have needed a rope put on to give a tug which all takes time . Another thing was it was all the wrong side of ditch ,360 can grab and swing it over and place it down where i can go though picking out the big bits for firewood and then just push rest up into a heap and burn which i would have to do even if i had done it all by hand . It had to be cut before end of February so short timescale by hand but can clean up at any time , whenever i have a few hrs i can nip down and do a bit , but not this weekend 😉

Wednesday for 8hrs I was on chainsaw cutting bits that was stuck in fence so that 360 did not pull fence over as fence is not mine,bit of a job as brambles and stuff getting around legs and scratching your arms and face but got it done, one of my neighbours owns the machine and my mate works for them so he was on 360 ,we did other bit on Thursday morning, I just got to clear it up at some time, will cut out big bits for firewood and heap rest up and burn. Arms was aching by end of the day
