October 26th [T] Removed two small 100mm and 160mm trees leaning over the track at 45° or less from the Townsend's land.
Dave King had already mentioned a large rotten trunk that was cause for thought and it was whilst in the process of plans to remove that I decided the two small ones above could go at the same time. However it was difficult to remove the large trunk without substantial footing on Ken&Joe's land so mentioned to Ken my plan and Ken said it would be better if he did it :)
