gutted is an understatement. here is my pic of the stunning sycamore gap tree on hadrians wall,heres whats left of it after some utter absolute scroat (stronger words needed really) felled it last night ,what a country we now live in. i bet there were loads of vape pens and red bull cans left at the scene. irreplacable.

Bless him.

He can have a chainsaw, give him a break.

Start with the chainsaw across his knackers and work up :mad:

It really is time we stopped making excuses and just started to send out a message that it is unacceptable and inexcusable to be such an offence to humanity.
 
Angers me how thoughtless these people can be . I bet he gets a slap on the wrists
 
Unbelievable, i have no words.
 
I am greatly saddened by this news.

That beautiful tree so perfectly framed in such a stunning location has been a much loved and photographed national treasure for decades. WHY?

What has happened to a young person to compel them to do such a stupid senseless act. Something to be really proud of and tell your grandchildren about. One can only hope that he finds himself incapable of adding to the gene pool.
 
After seeing a British tourist carving his name into the Coliseum stonework recently then I can believe anything is possible these days. There has to be consequences for antisocial behaviour otherwise it will increase and bigger liberties will be taken. Just sad state of things.

For a long time now I’ve been embarrassed, whilst abroad, to own up to being British!

Nope - smacking is banned !

devastated to hear about this. It was a lovely spot for a walk we visited a year ago.

a chainsaw to cut down a tree that size would be pretty heavy, I know I have a few. So must have used a quad bike or had help.

Must be used to handling it too, as it was a rough night with storm Agnes.
 
Impressive to take it down in one cut!

Can we make a pact here to not post stuff like this?
I don’t do media or news, this is my only window on the world and I kind of think of it as a safe haven?

To say I’m sad/angry/depressed would be an understatement :(

It's a sign of the times we live in now. I went to post a letter few days ago and the old post box that's been there for decades has been nicked

Agreed but thought this was worth a chat as it usually involves camping to get to. I stayed at the twice brewed Inn. Interesting village called 'once brewed' if you drive in from one direction and ' twice brewed'from the other. Story is that the Romans whined about the beer being weak whilst building the wall so they made the brewers brew it again but stronger,hence the name, twice brewed.
As for the news sidepod, also don't watch it or read papers even tho i'm often accused on here of reading the daily mail.saw this due to lindisfarne festival mentioning it on their page.
Meanwhile I'm in the lakes again for a week

Don't worry the perpetrator will feel the full force of the UK justice system when caught, so they can expected to attend at least 6 sessions with a Councillor to deal with their 'anger issues'
