The Coppice
 

It's a shame about all the graffitti on the monument isn't it... a lovely view...last time I went there I was still in the womb!!!

Whatever happened to Accyweb getting stuck in to HBC and pulling together volunteers up there to do the place up.

Re: The Coppice
 

they could start by ripping down those bloody trees,on the way up.:D

Wasn't there trouble with the breaks on your Bath Chair?:confused: :D

Re: The Coppice
 

Just in case you hadn't noticed there's a 'W' missing from the Sig under your name, shouldn't it be Tit for, well you get the picture....:D

Re: The Coppice
 

Could not agree more... I really would not feel safe walking up there these days... and the trees just provide cover for people up to no good....
a few are ok but its like a flippin forest up there now: chop them down :mad:

Re: The Coppice
 

You'll be wanting it tarmacing next.

Re: The Coppice
 

Tarmac and a train going to the top and of course a cafe on the top.....

Re: The Coppice
 

Some of them were not in the womb when they went up, but they were when they came down.:D

The masterplan for the paths, habitats and signs is starting this month and should be completed for the Autumn. There is £1m of funding going into the area covering Plantation Street to the Griffin by REMADE (LCC & GOVT OFF NW)

Are you not supposed to get a visit from Mrs Knight riding naked on a steaming old nag with blazing red eyes for using THAT word.

Re: The Coppice
 

Glad to hear that its a lovely walk to the top of the coppice from Plantation St.

Re: The Coppice
 

I like the trees very much, however, feel as you do Magpie, last time I did the Coppice, parked up over the King's Highway ... over the tops, then down and up again from the bowling green, felt very nervous on my own walking back up and thought could be so easy to get attacked without anyone noticing.

Would be a different kettle of fish though if I had had some nice gentleman to hold my hand up that path, as lovely cover if you wished a diversion now and then .. :D;)

Re: The Coppice
 

Wouldn't it be very funny to see Gayle riding naked on Rindys shoulders with her whipping his backside with a riding crop?
Or is it just me that has those type of dreams? :D

Re: The Coppice
 

To be fair I have not been upto the coppice since a few years ago when i launched 2 rockets with my son, lost them both, they came back to earth in the trees somewhere

I remember going upto the monument over 25 years ago and it was full of graffitti then

Re: The Coppice
 

Don't these concerns about safety say more about people's perceived fears than it does about trees?

Talking about Panopticons, I went to see the Singing Ringing Tree this afternoon. Lovely location up at Crown Point and even on such a poor day, I could identify the peaks of the Yorkshire Dales. The sculture itself is noth special close up, but when viewed in context it had a certain power. Certainly worth a trip and a walk.

You are a sick man Neil. :D :D

The image of you dreaming of rindy in his rainbow suit is just too much. :eek: :Banane20: :D

Re: The Coppice
 

I remember the Coppice before those foreign trees were planted, they should have planted indiginous trees and the wildlife would not have deserted the Hill. Birds and naural wildlife will not live there as it is not their natural environment, Douglas Firs ans Scandanavian trees do not belong here, When will they learn!:confused:

Re: The Coppice
 

Save the trees! Is this safety thing a genuine issue? If so, are there any places left where you good folks feel comfortable walking?

Re: The Coppice
 

I have not been up the coppice for over a year, but now you have come to mention it i think its time to take the old dog for a walk lol!!

Re: The Coppice
 

Ah, Ianto, you nipped in ahead of me. Didn't realize that the trees in question were of foreign extraction.

I have found wildlife to be very adaptable, though.

Re: The Coppice
 

The coppice was a very good walk when i was a lad but now iam unabble to walk that far now and i miss out on thing,s like that but i hope they dont spoil it.

Stuff the panopticon, all we need is ASFC spelled out in big letters ;)

Re: The Coppice
 

Not all the population are avid football fanatics - I presume that you are just being frivolous suggesting this :rolleyes:

Re: The Coppice
 

Yes, hence the sarcastic smiley :)

Re: The Coppice
 

Even football seemed far more interesting, and a damn sight cheaper when viewed from the side of the Coppice.;)

Re: The Coppice
 

Now theres a use for my telescope other than star gazing. Cheers for that Ian. :D

Re: The Coppice
