Deading the Reds

[Andy R]

iirc one of the idiot neighbours had a bonfire at the bottom of their garden, which is just the other side of the fence to the 2 tree's...one of the tree's had a pile of brash at the base of it, where the owner stacked the bits that dropped out over the years...and thats what caught fire. I expect it blazed quite hard and didn;t take long for the lower limbs to catch light, they were the closest together in the whole, row so the other one didn't stand a chance.

 

re: throwbag - Yes mate, took more than one attempt I can tell you...

 

..and every year we say we must leave a line up the tree somewhere so we can just set up a rope next time...still haven't done it though
