Wouldn't it be very funny to see Gayle riding naked on Rindys shoulders with her whipping his backside with a riding crop?
Or is it just me that has those type of dreams?

To be fair I have not been upto the coppice since a few years ago when i launched 2 rockets with my son, lost them both, they came back to earth in the trees somewhere

I remember going upto the monument over 25 years ago and it was full of graffitti then

Don't these concerns about safety say more about people's perceived fears than it does about trees?

Talking about Panopticons, I went to see the Singing Ringing Tree this afternoon. Lovely location up at Crown Point and even on such a poor day, I could identify the peaks of the Yorkshire Dales. The sculture itself is noth special close up, but when viewed in context it had a certain power. Certainly worth a trip and a walk.

You are a sick man Neil.

The image of you dreaming of rindy in his rainbow suit is just too much.

I remember the Coppice before those foreign trees were planted, they should have planted indiginous trees and the wildlife would not have deserted the Hill. Birds and naural wildlife will not live there as it is not their natural environment, Douglas Firs ans Scandanavian trees do not belong here, When will they learn!

Save the trees! Is this safety thing a genuine issue? If so, are there any places left where you good folks feel comfortable walking?

Ah, Ianto, you nipped in ahead of me. Didn't realize that the trees in question were of foreign extraction.

I have found wildlife to be very adaptable, though.
