Well, I bet you didn't expect to see 'hedgelaying' on the list!
We occasionally get a chance to do it as South Downs Volunteer Rangers and it's an activity I've not done for a while.
Using axes to lay a length of hedge on Saddlescombe Farm - it was very cold, hence the layers and hat. Hard work and difficult to get right - especially when you're not used to wielding an axe.
All those lengths of hedge have to get laid by someone and it's either volunteers or a small group of skilled craftsmen who do it for a living.
More on hedges and hedgelaying on the National Hedgelaying Society website.
