do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
was one over on the Cat's Back on the Blacks last year flying bags of stone up to the top for footpath repairs ... told it was £30k a day, but certainly shifted some bags in the time he was hopping back and forth .... they'd spent a couple of days laying them out in fields below ready ... would've taken days on wheels for sure and probably couldn't have gotten them in spot like this fella was doing, fair play .... had a great view of proceedings from here with the binoc.sRumoured to cost several thousands an hour for the helicopter (i was told 10k an hour but i think that may be ott).
the trees are a ****ing joke IMHDO
on a side note .... was in Val D'Isere skiing, the week before the winter olympics in '92 and the army were there flying snow up onto some of the courses .. men's downhill upper reaches in particular .... the pilots were just awesome ... would fly up, swing the bags at the face and open 'em as they passed over, literally throwing a tonne of snow on the face, in a hit .. aaaaaaaand gone for the next one ... two of 'em and damn did they shift some snow
had some great pix .... but pre digi and me house got burgled when i got back and me camera went with 'em still in it
