im still in and the dates good

I really like that

come back down my way private house down that road that slips off the main road just my side of the wale bones, think there is a pub or something on the island made by the road that splits off, think also you took a photo of a street oak with a significant feature very close by.

Yes, there is much myth about the strength and properties of trees! the truth is far removed from the texts:001_rolleyes:

The biggest one I know is in Barnet close to where you used to live David, unfortunately I no longer have the photos.

blimey mate thats not half bad and flipping random tree not many about! still too fine at the twigs crown periphery

ou got a link me old mucka?

no, why you ask?

bullman maybe correct NOT!, catalpa (TC) was a good call also

too dainty in the fine twigs to be any sort of ash.

I will get tom to do one too.

a lot of thought went into some of those designs, love the x ray and planetary geared cards.

I woukld recommend getting in touch with the student exchange program.

I know you did fella, and I didnt have a scooby doo:thumbup1: Im just getting good at sourcing stuff!

this is a great shame and wrong attitude in my opinion, also I reckon that they are gilled not pored! aside from some decay that tree was very healthy and vital, in fact ive never seen such a recovery from HCBC, normally the bark is far more cracked and ribs more obvious. Another tree needlessly felled and laid to waste

I bet the chub and barbel fishing will be epic when its starting to fine down! get your rods out matt

That is a serious financial commitment going through all this process! fair play HB Dont envy you splicing all day though!

great videos guys, really nice work on the splitter.

100% agree:thumbup1: ww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17061141 Abstract In plants, directional cell expansion greatly contributes to the final shape of mature cells, and thus to organ architecture. A particularly interesting mode of cell expansion is helical growth in which the growth axis is continuously tilted either to the right or to the left as the cell grows. Fixed handedness of helical growth raises fundamental questions on the possible origin of left-right asymmetry. Twisting mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana offer unique opportunities to study the cellular basis of helical growth. Most of the twisting mutants with fixed handedness have been shown to have defects in microtubule functions, whereas mutants that twist in non-fixed directions appear to be defective in auxin response or transport. Good correlations have been found between the tilted growth direction and alignment of cortical microtubule arrays in twisting mutants with compromised microtubule functions. The present challenge is to understand how particular array patterns are organized during progression of the interphase in rapidly expanding cells. Molecular and cell biological studies on twisting mutants will lead to better understanding on how wild-type plant cells utilize the microtubule cytoskeleton to initiate and rigorously maintain straight growth.

First and last images are superb, always a great image when the suns behind with grey clouds in front, really really nice shots David

This post was not directed at anyone for the record, it is merely that Everything I do here is better put into articles that would be very saleable, and given that I need to diversify and slow down on the physical stuff I am taking advice and giving a lot of thought to how and where I speak and present my thoughts and images. Its nothing against anyone, you lot know me better than that:001_smile: So apologies to those who misunderstood and took that as a direct comment.

he isnt up to date with modern kit, change trainer!

wot they doing teaching snatching before safe shock absorbing lowering methods? what they doing using the students kit? was it lolered? what they doing setting students up to think kit damage is part of the normal routine? was it lolered after? poor, epic way

bad show IMO

There was no need to re pollard them, that was a bull excuse IMO.
