Fear of the dark

[JonathanD]

There must be some more news by now!!!

Actually, yeah. I was down there about an hour ago gathering ramsons and found a wheelbarrow. Seems our nut eating friend is busy. Going back tomorrow with the camera to get some pics of the work in progress. All the ramsons around make hiding any sign I was there very difficult though.

Be good to get a proper update soon been looking forward to it!

Yeah, sorry. Because the place lacks any vegetation over the Winter months, there is nothing much to see there. It is growing well now and as soon as the ramsons die back, the balsam takes over and the place becomes a jungle. I new our friend would be fixing his flooded holes, but I didn't think he'd do it so soon. Plus with my injury, I couldn't move fast if I saw him

injury? sorry not been on in a while, still wish i could get up to have a look around with you!

I did get back up yesterday, but realised I'd forgotten my camera when I got there. I'll update it Thursday as I'm doing a local DNA sampling back here then.

Maybe a sample of the stacios?

They have got bottoms I can stick a swab up. Don't know how to get DNA samples if the subject hasn't got a bottom.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Ah yes that's very true he/she may not have a bottom.

I was talking about nuts.

 

[Retired Member southey]

I think your swabbing the wrong area!

What is the best area for nuts?

Besides, he eats those and just leaves the shells. So there.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Aha you need a soco chap to look at the shells! Give me a year to get through the police college and I shall see what I can do!

Splendid. I knew there would be some pro-activity on your part.

Crikey, living in the less salubrious parts of south east London is supposed to be scary. I want to go to the woods to escape the unhinged.

<makes mental note to avoid camping anywhere near Stourton>

Normally I find woods peaceful and I can relax in them better than anywhere, but there are occasions when I've quickly left an area because I felt very 'unwelcome' it's an uneasy feeling and specific only to woodland for me! Anyone else experienced it or am a loon?

When in a wood I prefer to be camped towards the top of a hill, not in the bottom of a valley/glade. I think it's a psychological thing, probably lighter & less oppressive.

Great to catch up on this after a long lay off. Jonathon, be careful, there may well be a very disturbed individual here.

Fascinating stuff.

I went for a walk in the woods with my dog last night and got that same feeling. First time its ever happened. I think it is phsycological as I grew up hearing that those particular woods are haunted.
