I cant climb trees but no one has offered me a gibbon

Excuse me? Would you like a Gibbon? It is house trained, has very good manners and likes both human and canine company.

You could perhaps learn a great deal from it about interacting with others?

I take it then that you re-read your starting post and realised the sort of response it deserved?

For someone that doesn't need to sulk you seem to give a good impression of doing just that!

If you don't care about other peoples opinions why post at all?
Nobody here would miss your input, it makes very little sense and isn't even close to being humorous.

Great Gable is in an area where folks go to enjoy unspoilt terrain, the Coppice is on the edge of an urban area where most people do not go with specialist clothing and equipment but just might benefit from a little help to get them out and about and keep themselves fit where otherwise they might not have bothered. You yourself might be glad of those paths in years to come. Several of us "old timers" on here can remember when there were no trees on the Coppice but we have learnt to live with them. So things move on as they always have.

Didn't know you could see 'em from Morecambe.

There's a bit of a clue in the name Coppice as to what the hill looked like back in the day Susie.

There is a thread about the origin of the name, somewhere onsite, can't find it at the mo', tapatalk lousy for searches, but, it isn't what you think.

Thanks Margaret an interesting read, nonetheless all the area was forested at one time stretching all the way to the forest of Bowland....coppicing in terms of managing that woodland makes more sense ....and we have acorns on our coat of arms.

Well your lucky, we have just discovered today that there is going to be a enormous 35metre wind turbine errected just off Willows lane, smack bang on the little bit of green belt we have left in this area.

So next time you are up the coppice you should be able to see the turbine, hopefully you won't get one up there.

I was just looking at some pictures the other day when I found one of Cambridge St Cubs Football Team from about the late 70s.

The Coppice looked a lot different then, its nice to still live literally a stones throw away from where you grew up.

The trees were planted to stop the shale slipping I think.

There was a bit my grandad used to call "the banana skin", as I remember it was a triangular bit of loose stone that was very slippery under foot.
