After working on the Bog, Andrew, David and your correspondent set off to remove a tree which was suspended perilously over a path leading from the Meanwood Valley trail up to Adel Moor.
Before
Winching the tree off the path.
This proved to take far longer than expected: partly because the tree stubbornly refused to fall to the ground and repeatedly jammed the bow saws: and partly because we left part of the winch in the car – and your correspondent had to go back to the car to fetch it.
However, in an operation similar in scale to the floating of the Costa Concordia, the tree was felled and rendered safe.
It would be true to say, though, that all members of the team 
were desperate for lunch by the end of the operation at about 2.30pm.
The icing on the cake was that the moor was looking fantastic!!
