A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead".
A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces.
Legal protection for heritage trees needed.

Out and about in the northern lakes today. Sunny intervals, breezy but warm enough with a micro fleece. Glorious. Weather on the change now much cooler and some rain but still some sunshine.

Absolutely gutted to learn that David Heavy Whalley has passed. A true hero who wanted nothing more than to help people. Mountain rescue owes him a debt of gratitude, as does the country, for his service at Lockerbie. Rest in peace Heavy. Xxx
