img_9711.jpgimg_9712.jpg Today we went for a walk around Warton Cragg, where a gorgeously atmospheric mist had descended. However, the whole area acquired a new significance in light of the (fairly) recent purchase of the wood-burning stove. Looking around, it became clear that there was enough wood lying around on the ground (in various forms: massive trees that had recently fallen; trees that had fallen and been vaguely cut up; neat little piles of logs, pegged down to stop them rolling away) to keep my wood-burner going for the rest of my life . . . and beyond. But to enter the main area of woodland, we had to pass a sign that read (amongst other things), "No collection without permission" (or something to that effect). Exactly who we ask permission from remains a mystery. I've contacted the council about this but am still awaiting a response. I'm wondering about the logistics of transporting wood from inaccessible woodland (well, inaccessible in the sense of vehicles) back to somewhere accessible. Hmmmm.

  • Comment: Contrary to what your website might claim, this is actually the third time I've tries commenting on this post and why I have complained in the post on the 27th Feb of this year.

    What I was trying to say, but your moderation panel did not approve was that the wood in the woodland is probably required for the local floral and fauna to enjoy whilst they rot down and provide food and shelter. I know that the parkies in the wood opposite us take a dim view of people taking wood away.
