    not really familiar with the symptoms, seen a few shots now im starting to wade through some of these much smaller problems (smaller as in les obvious to the eyes, unlike a whopping great bracket!)

    Was looking at the construction of yurts a while back fantastic system really, and surprisingly rigid:thumbup1: I reckon those Mongolians knew what they was doing, great way to live I reckon.

    got a 50 mtr tape:thumbup:

    great idea Pat, and you should do it, and harvest your own poles:thumbup1: always loved them tentipis, great way to camp IMO

    this doesnt look like a slow nectria or regular ash canker, both of which are slower and have rougher edges?
  6. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I can see a market for it as an aroma therapy oil, smells fantastic have you a specific market for the oil? just interested what uses it has.

    Ive never seen die back at a collar like this on ash before so given the situation currently I would be on my toes in this case, needs a sample sending.

    see here for all you need Forestry Commission - Pests and diseases - Ash dieback (Chalara fraxinea)

    Ha, dont worry about it, I do it all the time!

    I would tend agree with that, I do have a tendancy to suspect honey and work from there in these sorts of situations and occasionally I am caught out probably because I really dont want to hear those horrible words, Phytopthora. Its getting depressing the state of tree health these days, so many negative impacts about for trees now.

    thats a great follow up post, thanks for sharing. 8ft is serious regrowth even for a willow!
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I would say highly likey, good shout. the bark dying back past the collar is a giveaway as i understand the progress occurs.

    Toms a good lad, well capable reducer, and does a mean splice!

    I think Davids made a good calll but for me on a close up this appears Hydnoid, toothy, suspect this to be Hericium erinaceus once harvested and regrown. Auranti is lippy rather than blobby, for technical terms! Just my pennies worth, nice find Guy
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Nice find, suspect its anamorph, maybe of Phaeolus as david suggests

    I had hedgelaying down as one of my things to go see/do this year but these are all a bit far for a peek. Timely jog of thought though springs just around the corner so shall get looking for local events.
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    argh that dont count! you only qualify for sane! thought you was hardcore for a minute!
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    thats a very good point about the time of year, Xmas bills are in, its dark, damp and cold, its a well recorded point in the year when it can all mount up, add that to everything else all gets a bit disheartening! I shall picture camping and spring and try to perk meself up a bit:thumbup1:

    Ive been in a very similar position and know how rough this gets, one thing added to another to another till you end up breaking down and begging your GP for some serious help, I begged to see a shrink, I was that lost, felt like i was losing the plot and couldnt see a way out of the dark hole I was in. Your not alone, find something to hold onto and drag yourself out, youll need a hand often, youll find a hand if you reach. feeling a bit depressed myself at the moment, seeing this thread bounce up was odd timing, One of those threads that pops up just when you need it. be strong dude:thumbup1:

    brave in the current weather! whats a Gonk bag? is this what they call a bed roll, sleeping bag, waterproof bag over and a foam matt under sleeping bag inside, can be rolled up and carried as one?
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    nice little video, the guys a legend with that pen! would love to have that skill
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    This fascinating article was just posted on a Facebook page by Jill Butler, thought I would put it here for anyone interested in such things. Its basically the discovery of an ancient stone map in a cave of its local surroundings with good hunting and forage potential. I find this sort of thin awesome. World's oldest map: Spanish cave has landscape from 14,000 years ago - Telegraph

    I would agree with that, our Tom had one and bits of it fell of within a month, but it is VERY comfortable. Ive had 3 (one personal, 2 at work over the last 6 years) tree austria 3's now, and have the detachable seat which makes life very comfy on big trees and avoided constriction of main arteries in the thigh, which was getting to be an issue for me. Before these I was a Komet (no seat version) fan, but since finding the tree austrias improved weight and comfort benefits wont ever look to another till production ceases.

    could you elaborate "reiterative distal tissue annihilation" for us more linguistically/academically challenged folks?
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    agreed
