This is looking good people,

there is a tea hut near to the site where we will park and up to everyone if they wanna bring food but a stove with tea and coffee will be essential so everyone bring a cup, bit o suger tea etc as its not far to the hut but will be hard work bringing T's through the forest.

 

I wanna set a date just worried about the weather and it being real nasty on the day i set and everyone's sorted their day release out! Lol

 

Ps the tea hut makes nice rolls

 

Looking forward to this!!

Is that the bikers hut in high beech?

Any news on when this climb will be?

Can I just remind people that there are some very delicate old pollards at Epping Forest. Great care should be taken to protect the cambium of any tree whilst rec climbing, let alone old pollards. My advice would be to not climb anything that is part of the key stone veteran tree project in the forest.

 

 

Be safe and observant

Thought Top climber posting this may work their & didn't think that old vet's were on the menu. Just some magnificent park land climb. Apologies for any ignorance on reply to both party's. Never been their before though so a visit is well worth it anyway.

 

Cheers David & Top climber.

 

Also I should have read title to the thread properly:blushing:

 

Also would like to reiterate David's point.

Great care should be taken to protect the cambium on any of the trees that get climbed rec or for work!

 

I don't work there but have lived and explored this forest all my life and yes the trees I have in mind are very old and near the bikers tea hut (albere! Have you climbed here?) in the location are some very old pollards some moody and delicate ultimately they are all delicate! But those that should be left alone will be and those that are climbed will also be treated with great respect if that helps to clear up any worrys.

 

We can still meet on the day and if anybody /s don't like the site then we can find others to play on if there are any doubts, but as said before we will be respectful to the forest have a good day share info tips advice meet new people and hopefully get some newbies up trees as well.
