More than 100 competitors put their chainsaw skills to the test at the national hedgelaying championships earlier.

They were cheered on by hundreds of spectators at Driffield’s Elmswell Farms, showcasing 10 regional styles.

Josie Muncaster, 31, styles her hedges in that of her home county, Cheshire.

She said “you don’t have to be Superman” to take up the activity, but that she no longer “needs to go to the gym, which is nice”.
