tree houses for grown men

Twiz and I could hardly believe the efforts the hunters go to to build these 'dens' which are all over the woods and they all look so precarious.

Good grief, wouldn't catch me up in one of them!
Nice layout.

Woa, made me dizzy looking up! Lovely LO.

Oooeerrr!!!!!

Now I would be up there, I loved climbing trees, getting down was another story, but with a ladder hey, fantastic I could spend hours up there just watching the world. Great LO, I like the way you've echoed the ladder with your journalling.

That's such an unusual subject. Great LO.
When you say hunting, what do they hunt, and how do the tree
houses come into play ? I can't read the journalling.

Wow that makes me dizzy looking at the pictures!

Great LO

love those steps up to the tree house ,dont know as id want to go up there though.

great subject maria , very different and a great lo again

they hunt pigeons from them Steph.... they send a live one up on a high wire to act as a lure, its all a bit barbaric, and then when the unsuspecting pigeons flying overhead spot it they come down where 16 men let loose with a twelve bore.

It seems a bit excessive to me I must say, but they all spend hours doing it, the whole month of October. My aunt who is a twitcher says that the french are the scourge of the bird watching world. Mind you, round here they shoot anything that moves!

Aw it does sound horrible - it's only saving is your terrific LO.

do they eat pigeons then maria ?

i thought pigeon pie was just a joke sort of thing .send them all to nottingham market square we have to have pigeon culling at times we have so many and they ruin all the old buildings with their mess and germs.
they have even stopped ppl feeding them here ,to try discourage them .

yes they do eat them. They even eat larks!

Great layout, they're very determined to get their birds.

NO way would you catch me up that ladder.

Eek far to high and unstable looking, good LO though even if I don't like their antics up there

looks very ricketty. Lovely LO though

funnily enough, we've just walked the dog down there and twiz has spotted a cable running down the tree (like a huge extension lead but just a conenctor block where the plug should be, so it looks like they even put electricity up there!
