The Fallen Tree Incident ......
High winds overnight on Monday/Tuesday
23rd/24th June brought a tree down across the canal at the
picturesquely-named Thistle Bottom between Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd :
the Waterways optimistically
sent two men armed with a small bush saw and a pair of waders to clear the
obstruction ........
|
Whoever said this was just a sapling was, I fear, greatly mistaken! |
 |
 I thought I heard them asking for three fellows? |
 Zak is NOT impressed! "Looks like a job for Dave. Tell him to bring his dry suit and his chain saw!" |
 ... Hooray! Here comes Dave, complete with promised dry suit and chain saw! |
 ...and two and a half hours later, a very wet and cold Dave removes the last of the fallen tree. |
|
Postscript : I
wonder where they get their tee-shirts from? GGUK Surplus Stores??
