  1. why do you know a real man looking for boots sam:lol:
  2. context andy, its all about the context:001_rolleyes:
  3. Mind you dont get too hooked on that rush, it can lead to "extravagant climbing" as you find you have to go a little fastr a little harder a bigger swing etc to get the rush!
  4. yep, airstreams. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
  5. yeah in less than a month! but at least the dementia isnt set in yet, that rot is one you can keep!
  6. you dont neeed an Ident, really. obviously Fommes:thumbup:
  7. think the rain and cold slowed them a bit but yes sadly, nipping as usual but wore the gaitors! only got a few that managed to get above me gaitors!
  8. actualy, pigs are more intelligent than either dogs or cats!
  9. Been out and about as usual, BB today, checking out the soil profiles and noting tree conditions, the old vets are in a right old state, leafing later Kretz and armillaria everywhere and I suspect the mycorrhizae are severely lacking in many of the oldest vets now. If you want to witness burnham beeches I suggest you do it soon, its old vets are failing, bar a view exceptions, these will be those with good attendance of Mycorrhizae communities I suspect, shall see come autumn. Epping on the other hand with a less organic horizon appears to be as good now as when i first visited? Could this indicate that eutrophication and root damage caused by heavy hoofed grazers at BB is having a detrimental effect?
  10. It may be in your quadrant but I had to go to your area and kent to see it, and for the Inonotus obliquos too
  11. Ive seen a few NT specs of late that make my blood boil too:thumbdown:
  12. I think its a reasonable statement David, we have to go to very special sites to see Fommes in the south do we not? though Kent seems to be a strong hold for Fommes in the south. It would be interesting to re investigate its distribution. I thinkj there is a research project here for somebody, looking into Chaga AKA Inonotus obliquous and Fommes. Two fungi that have very odd distributions
  13. this is priceless.
  14. why why why, youll draw attention to it, highlight the tree, then it will be noticed and complained about, LEAVE BE!
  15. having had many experiences I can say David is absolutley spot on there with a written C.V it can be the difference between an interview and nothing.
  16. a more holistic environmentally viable and sound practice maybe? shall have a look for research on it:thumbup:
  17. there is potentialy a job coming up with Charlie, might be a cool job and a chance to meet up:thumbup1:
  18. leave it alone, it will look exactly the same 40 years from now, its having a rest
  19. good for you, how fr out do you work Felix? was with Charlie today, was an awesome day:thumbup1:
  20. It is a natural instinct to fear heights, add rot, a chainsaw and suspend yourself on a thin 11mm rope and the fear is understandable! you get over it rapid, no time to think about it most of the time and you soon learn to ignore your instinct!
