I might be in trouble

That is the same saw that I have, swapped it for a shotgun that I couldn't sell. our local farm supplier is also a firearms dealer, he did a trade for a new one and a helmet with visor.

It's a cracking bit of kit, very capable and easy to use. It copes with just about anything I throw at it.

Bought mine to replace a Bosch I inherited from dad that I couldn't get on with. That one was a devil to start, and after ending up kicking it the length of the drive in frustration one afternoon, I traded it in for the Stihl the very next day.

Uh oh...

You are right, Cracking bit of kit, mine usually saws logs that I have been given, however its also gone down the park and dropped a few dangerous ones (with permission)

Wish you lived closer, I'd be around borrowing that to accidently try to trim a piece of wood or something & accidently cut the fudgin neighbours conifers down they are 12ft tall & hang over our fence, I really hate them!

Drill a small but deep hole in and regularly stick some roundup in said hole. Shhhhhhhhh, I didn't say that....

Neat.

I do all my firewood here (solid fuel heating out here in the boonies) plus keep 7 acres of orchard and woodland in check. That includes trimming and felling trees.

The tag-a-long is now on ebay. Loads of interest, about 5 folk already asked to buy it now, but I've said the auction can run due to the interest.

Aye, there is a flat next door but the problem is elevation. I'd need to be down on the ground floor (or lower) but then I wouldn't have a line of sight.

Line of sight would definitely be an issue from below ground level.

If anything, Tesco queue was even longer than yesterday.



Needless to say I didn't bother.

Well done! Theres a post on the retirement thread with more details of the ride.

I've recently come back from a nice ride over to Lacock and back. It is nice and warm and sunny out . 9 miles.
I managed to do some nice freewheeling bits. It is nice to just ease off and try to see how far you can go on a gentle slope . Just to sit up and listen to the freewheel making a whiring ratchet noise like a demented fisherman rapidly trying to reel in his fishing line .
Does Strava have a your best freewheel section ?

Do it! It's really good cycling weather here, 25 degrees but with a light dry breeze - none of that sweaty Atlantic air.

I did in the end, but the breeze here wasn't light it still had evil about it, some real gusts over 20mph I reckon.
