    It's only plus would be fast growing why not plant eucalyptus or birch it will not grow back from stump once cut as birch and eucalyptus does so I would say no but I am sure others will jump to its defence.

    Can't really give advice on the climbing as all though I have the tickets I get another climber in to do the hard work. But I have just got back in to riding dirt bikes and bought a bike that I can grow in to. As a result it sometimes bites back and I end up in a heap on the floor, get back on and do the same thing again until I master it. No pain no gain and all that. Most days after a good session I feel 10 years older.

    58 is around the same as us for beech can get oak locally for around 38 per tonne and it's usually been down a while. Getting Larch at 28 per tonne surpose to be getting some dead larch at that price.

    As I've said before it all burn but it's dirty and full of sap been here before so that's my opinion not even the chip boys take it around us. I've burned loads of it usually on a bonfire. Now wood getting scarce the lads down the pub have it but they take it and log it them selfs. Each to there own.

    Don't want to be funny but you must have different oak to me at I got a load July 13 cut it in march down to 20% now 14 inch cord respite to test moister content.. You can see where it's dry 30mm in from been left stacked. When it's down to 18% it's going out. It's bad enough carrying stock for a year let alone 4.

    Winter or no winter all the firewood will go at the same price so it makes no diffrance to me a bit of snow on Christmas Eve to make it a bit more magical for my boy is all I ask for. Every day I read in one paper it's going to be cold the next warm. Get up in the morning look out the window that's how I predict the weather thesa days.

    The law is not black and white though that's where driving with out due care or attention can be used. As annoying as it is if you under take and a car pulls back in to the inside lane and hits you your going to be found at fault.

    I will put a post on his thread rather than hijack this one Hodge. A close friend of mine committed suicide and all ways felt sad he had not confided how he felt to me. Also my partners x committed suicide the first time we found him before the overdose killed him. The second time we were to late leaving two teenagers behind wandering why. If I am honest it crossed my mind when my boys life was in the balance but he pulled through if he had not it may of been a different story. Just for the record I do think its a selfish act.

    Use to suffer with it badly in the early days of my sons accident but seeing him return to the happy little boy he was before all be it a little different makes me realise how lucky I am. Yes there are still many days that are hard but I will not let it get me down/ depressed.

    Spent a long time doing long commutes was on 12 points for a while in that time I was doing well over a 100 on the m1 and marked police car came up behind me and just sped on by when a pulled in to the middle lane. Drive a little more sensibly these days but still annoys me doing any amount of moter way miles as the vast majority don't no how to use them. Limit on Mway should be raised IMO

    Rural insurance have been really good for us.

    Pops selling for strong money in Herefordshire £30 + a tonne two guys of I know up here will take as much as they can get what they do with it I do not know. The only tip I have is if it's for firewood or kindling try and get as much bark off as poss. When it starts to dry it cracks if you start to peel it off it comes off in long big strips or at least the hybrid stuff does. T
