Well you know how it goes....if any old riff raff had turned up and asked he'd have had the dogs set on him....but a man of my social standing of course...

I wince at the thought of plough damage in those wheat fields - hope they never plant maize or spuds (deeper ploughing)

heres some stonkers from the Dartmoor or rather the river Dart Rhea:001_cool:

 

I have a sneaky feeling one of my mentors is going to want one of these!

 

A very interesting historic site, a lime kiln right on the edge (ruins) I suspect that they would drive the boats right under the overhanging trees and pollard them into the boats, making transportation easy. As I am sure also the Lime stone for the kilns would have been transported to site for burns, then shipped out again as finished product. humans are very resourceful at limiting work!

Amazing how those trees are able to just keep holding on!

This Ash epitomises the term ultimate survivor. Although it appears to be a moribund monolith the healthy crown top left originates from a limb halfway down the stem. Great tree.

Going through some photos from last year and found this one which I thought I should share. 8m+ girth with a huge cavity large enough to sit in at around 8ft.

Nice old oak I spotted taking the kids to their away match today thought I would share, just a shame I didn't have a better camera with me.
