I remember them well James.I never forget a tree.They were Sessile Oaks and quite a sight halfway up that small mountain.The Borrowdale Yews are old but not as ancient as the Llangernyw Yew.Wordsworth wrote a poem about them.....i have a piece of deadwood i carved from one of them....Our tutor was Tony Pinkerton...How could you forget him?....although it was 22 years ago!
