In pic 121, what was in the way that we can't see from the picture that doesn't allow you to fell the spar to the "left" side of that leader that it fell and caught on?
It actually missed Therrin. Although the tree was dead anyway (sweet chestnut) and felling it was actually part of the job. I'd been trying to catch it many times from above throughout the climbing stage but kept missing.

I even missed when I felled the trunk (pic121)! After that I told them it deserved to stay for such a show of defiance.

Long may it stand proud
