How far is it from the nearest road? You dont see many 16 year olds walking about with petrol chain saws.they've arrested a 16yo kid for felling the tree !
not exactly a well populated area at all, at least a good 30 minutes walk from nearest road i think, esp at night carrying a decent load ?How far is it from the nearest road? You dont see many 16 year olds walking about with petrol chain saws.
That could be done if it was anywhere else. Hadrians Wall is 1,900 years old and just a few feet away. In any case, it will grow back, it will be different and it will take time, in its history Hadrians Wall has seen worse. Photo from another angle showing how close it is to the wall.

It would be interesting to hear their justification for their actions.Second person arrested - a man in his sixties. Grandfather?
Pub offers bar tab reward for information over Robin Hood tree loss
A man in his sixties has become the second person arrested in the investigation of the deliberate felling of a tree beside Hadrian's Wall in northern England.www.abc.net.au
sure they were, they just had to go home, fire up the steam traction engine and drive it back at 1 1/2 miles an hour, hook up the chains and drag the tree home at even slower speed.It would be interesting to hear their justification for their actions.
The fact that they left the tree where it fell precludes any argument that they were just collecting firewood.
When the battery in my truck died, I looked at recommended replacements on-line, and, finding the results all but incoherent, ended up measuring the space allowed for it and then going up to the Walmart, borrowing a tape measure from them and studying all of the batteries they had before selecting one. Ironically, it turned out to be exact same type I had in the truck before the one that failed most recently; I have no idea why I still had the old one in the garage.Bought a new battery for one car today while in town
Reminds me of an incident described by an insurance company some decades ago. There was a lone palm tree at an oasis in the Sahara Desert. A truck driver managed to hit it.That could be done if it was anywhere else.
I had a colleague who managed to hit a goods train going from Dammam to Riyadh, not only are they huge they only ran once a day.Reminds me of an incident described by an insurance company some decades ago.

And it was the only rail crossing.I had a colleague who managed to hit a goods train going from Dammam to Riyadh, not only are they huge they only ran once a day.
Well there arent many because there arent many roads, stuff that happens out there is beyond belief and reason. People getting killed hitting camels is quite common, in the two years I was there 3 guys died in car accidents from my company.And it was the only rail crossing.
Ah so you know, it is beyond description.Oh I believe you, I spent a total of 7 years in the country in the late 70s, early 80s, 2 at Dhahran and the rest at Tabuk and in both places I could tell a number of tails.
