WhippendellWatcher

BTW did you watch 'The Fades' last night? BBC iPlayer - The Fades: Episode 1 The scene in the woods at around the 50 minute mark was filmed in the sinkhole near Lees Wood.

Thanks for your welcome. No, I don't know who extracted the beech trunk that you refer to, but there's a team from Nicholsons in the woods at the moment. So I guess it may have been them, if it was done recently. They've got some serious kit in there.

Whippendell Woods are a magical spot, and I am lucky enough to walk in the woods daily. I think it's great that your Senior Member 'Hamadryad' organised a foray there last weekend. I've looked at a couple of his postings and videos and it's obvious that he has a very deep knowledge of arborial matters and cares deeply about the ecology. I am glad that he introduced members of this forum to this lovely place.
