RIP - Hadrian’s wall tree

[Jameshow]

FB Northumberland suggesting it was an ex national trust employee? 🤔🤔🤔

Hows a 16 year old going to be able to get their hands on a large chainsaw and be able to operate it at night to cut down that massive tree? I wouldn't have been able to do that at 16.
I think its more than one person and they are older.

I thought/think the same. The cut looks so smooth and horizontal. Could a 16 year old, probably 'on something' do that? 🤔

A lot of 16 year old dwarf me these days.

People wot know more than me* say that was a serious long bar felling saw with seasoned (swidt?) professionals wielding it. I think that the 16yo didn't dun it themselves.

*Suspend disbelief a moment.

Totally mindless , why do it lord knows.
Reminds me about something that happen in North York Moors National Park last month.
Someone carved their initials into an historic bridge that's a protected Scheduled Monument using an angle grinder.

I didn't know that, it's my old home village. Bastards.

And how would a 16 year old actually get there?. Its not like you could walk or cycle to it carrying a dirty great big chainsaw & fuel tank.
I don't know about the local bus service (probably non-existent as its rural) but try get on a bus with a chainsaw in a bag at night?. Nope....someone who can drive probably did it or drove the perp(s) to the location. The fuzz will likely be checking local road CCTV.

Dolbadarn Castle, Llanberis, was damaged, too, during the summer..

What is it with people 😡

They probably traced all the phones active at the time in the neighbourhood.

random questions...

Is it very short walk from the local farm who probably gets peed off with "instagrammers" straying off the rights of way onto his land looking or that perfect photo?
Do farmers have tractors if they don't fancy a walk?

More likely they followed the tractor tyre marks back to his father's farm. Allegedly.

It is a 20 minute walk from the Once Brewed Hostel (now called The Sill).
Plus the AD122 bus stops there.

But, being one person arrested, those connections looks small.

It's a guy who had been sacked from the Nation Trust the week before and threatened to do this. That's why he was so quickly identified.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Are Special Branch looking into this?

Sorry.

Apparently they are looking at a number of tree-angles
