[QUOTE="delilah, post: 8010714, member: 76758"] [USER=153068]@Janet Hughes Defra[/USER] Looks like I did your Landscape Recovery partners a disservice. They didn't wait to get three quotes to clear the kissing gate, but cracked on and did it themselves. Sort of. Steamed up the hill in a convoy of £100k worth of kit, and in barely a morning cut the branches back to allow folks through. Didn't actually clear the tree, but tbf it was Thursday lunchtime by then.
