Midlands Get-Together – Its Official! If anyone is interested please state so on this thread. I see it as a totally informal/family day in a nice park in the centre of Worcester. I’ll be there with some climbing gear – Perhaps some of you can show me how to use the stuff! I’ll also try and bring the MEWP along to see if I can convert anyone. Haha. I’m trying to get a BBQ sorted, so lets hope for decent weather. John.

.....

Haha, we have that problem in Worcester too - Chop 'em down! Thats what I say! (ref. my first ever thread)

Roger that, I'll sort it tomorrow - off out to pub!

I walked right into that one didn't I ! Fair play.. I like this shot too with the young Oak – Its almost displaying four phases of an Oaks life (with some over-lap!)

Going...Going...Gone. I was down Croome Park way this morning hoping to get some not-so exclusive pictures of 360’s stuck in mud, alas I missed the boat and it was happily working away when I turned up. I thought these were worthy of sharing. The Park was landscaped by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. Work began in 1751 and it was his first complete landscape job. Many large Oaks were planted around this period - Does the Oak look around 260 years old? I didn’t spot any FB’s, but the Oak on the left was extensively hollow. I know that these fields were also grazed by cattle for many years, perhaps this has hastened their decline…?

Pour it down zee zink.
