Every three years those of us who work with
chain-saws have to do a refresher course followed by an assessment and it was
my turn this year. So, I spent two days last week in the South Lakes working
with our senior forester Martin Thwaites. Over the course of three years there
are always changes to good practice that have to be learned and also we might
have developed some bad habits without realising it. Martin can spot these and
iron them out during the course. I always learn a lot from him and this year was
no exception.
Another day was spent with a new volunteer
for my team. Mick is someone I’ve known for a number of years now from my time
on the Mountain Rescue Team. He is going to be a huge asset to my team of
volunteers. His first task will be helping with a survey of the outdoors furniture
– the gates, bridges & stiles etc. So I have been out with him looking at
examples, discussing what I’m looking for and making sure that he has a good
handle on how to report back his findings.
Daisy here,
I’ve been playing with Gus and Bryn on
Derwent Island while Roy was chain-sawing. They’re my best friends now.
