* me, what a * **** that was.
kerosene burner, stand back, and job done...
Fire did cross my mind. Containment is not something I'm experienced in, so burning down the whole place on day 2 would have been likely result, considering current temperatures!
Have you got any before and after photos? 40 years of wild vegetation... It must have been a woodland!?
40 years of wild vegetation. I see you've been clubbing in Dumfries.

Job done.
Ok, this is a tiny bit odd, but that appears to be the same strimmer that I used! Aside from nylon cord, which I changed around twenty times..
Brushcutter surely must've broken yer back? What about an allenscythe?
My back [b]is[/b] broken; it was frickin' agony after just a few min minutes of use. I was out there for 12 hours in total.
However, I have just spent 90 mins in bath with some wine and feel a lot better, cleaner, but a tad tipsy, so I must retire now, eagerly anticipating the aches that will no doubt accompany me about tomorrow.
Just glad to have not strimmed glass or a stone into my face!
