Tony and I visited the wood for the day. First job when we arrived was to get a fire going and make a brew.
Decided that a good task for the day would be to clear some of the overhanging trees from the track in readiness for the lorry that will eventually deliver the cabin. I'd made the stupid decision not to take the chainsaw with me, so we cut down about half a dozen 6" diameter trees with a bowsaw.
Having achieved this, and dragged most of the sizeable debris back to Fernbank, we decided it was time for another brew.
After lunch we investigated the spring to see whether it might be possible to cap it as a source of water. After much consideration we decided that this was impractical, and abandoned the idea.
A section of one of the Beech trees felled was safely stowed in the car ready for taking back home. More about this later...
After an uneventful journey back, and having dropped off Tony, I arrived back home about 9pm, feeling very tired, but very, very satisfied and relaxed.
