Trees & Motorsport

Went to Oulton Park last weekend to watch my little bro in his first race. They’ve got some great trees, particularly liked this row of Sweet Chestnuts and regenerating Lime stump.

 

Two random motorsport pics

 

Also some of my little bro finished 11th out of 16 and second in his class so really good for a first race

I was liking the trees until i saw the golf, what a beautiful car. I had a graphite grey mk11, 16v dohc on a g plate. I loved that car. well done to your brother:thumbup1:

Interesting post...I did a track day at Cadwell Park last week, the first time Ive visited Cadwell. They have some good trees there also.

I spent the night in my tent amongst a group of beech...some which were significantly decayed and hollowed out! (This I noticed the next morning) Sodding windy too as it happened....!

Nice to see them retained amongst human designs-

Those old sweet chestnuts are great. I like the way that they have been mulched, even it it's only a small amount.

Cheers all

 

Yeah, it’s good to see that they are retained and managed according to the surroundings. A couple of years ago a large bough did fail flattening a spectators Audi, was particularly windy that day

well spotted it is two race cars carved into the felled trunk to created a bench, think its a Tim Burgess carving.
