This is the first of a couple of stumps which need removing. Due to location it’s next to impossible to get any machinery near to drill them out.
Here’s a pic of the beginnings of a trench round the offending stump.
I had to dig this trench much deeper and then hack away the roots from below with a matock and digging spike. Finally it was winched out.
I was far to knackered after to take any pics. I’ll take some work in progress shot on the next stump
