As the title sugests, got a good size bit of land that needs to be cleared and kept clear and fancied doing it by hand.
will mostly be weeds, brambles and long grass.

It's just old geezers that have the time and will to own and use scythes, makes them feel like an good old fashioned real man.

Get a petrol machine , ain't no glory in cuttin grass.
