Making slow and probably not obvious progress.
This doesn't help either:
This tree inconsiderately fell over on the bit of ground that I want to site the Yurt. I'm glad it happened now and not after the Yurt was in place, but removal is proving tricky as it is at the bottom of a very steep hill with no road access. To give an idea of scale the white stick is 2m (6') long.

So here is what I've been doing: cutting and digging steps out so when I've finally managed to get someone with a chainsaw to cut the tree up, we can carry the remains out safely.
there's a more detailed version of the story
here.
I'm also working on a compost WC so we can work here without having to use the bushes for calls of nature.
Getting there, indirectly and slowly, but we're getting there...
