Another day, another stump. For reasons previously explained no machinery here – all hard graft and digging. This time though I did take regular breaks which enabled me to snap a few pics as I was going.
First dig a trench all around said stump:
Then attach rope and winch. Try to winch out. Realise that it isn’t going to move just yet 
More digging. Then use digging spike to cut all the roots from underneath the stump.
. . . .sometime later, after more digging and winching. The stump is out.
As if digging a stump out wasn’t hard enough, there was this huge field stone underneath the stump as well. I’ll be off to the chiropractor tomorrow!
