#ViqDiary "I've grown a pair, obvs. I got away with the 4m leap of broken legs the other day so I've been doing it again today on outcrops & amongst massive boulders. Just for fun. Love it! Spoilsport is deffo not amused. Got wronged. Worth it."

Took Viq for a trot round the main working woodland patch today (1st image). It's a bit of a mess. Coppice regrowth, sned piles & brambles. Prep work to do before cracking on with lumberjacking. I'll also be working in my own copse this winter (2nd image). Tad steep there. – at Orgnac-sur-Vézère, France
