I meant to put this post up a few weeks back but it slipped my mind and I only remembered after our recent visit to our permission.
Storm Eowyn did some serious damage to the forest and brought down quite a number of trees, the scary thing was, 3 fell right over one of my favourite camping spots. I had often heard the trees knock against each other in high winds and it was always in the back of my mind that one could come down on me, I'm very glad I wasn't there when the storm hit...
And the donimo effect, this beech toppled taking an oak and a sycamore with it, not all trees get hung up when they fall, I will have to be incredibly careful when camping there again, the trees are all so shallow rooted there's no telling when they'll drop. Be safe out there folks!
