Tree #6 "The Story Tree": 10/10 for climbability

This is my absolute favourite tree to climb. I've climbed it many times since we moved here.

Tree #5 8/10 for climbability

It's been a few days since I had a climb. Opportunity coupled with being without a dog (he was snowed out of Glossop until Wednesday and it just feels wrong going for a long walk without him) meant that I've not been on it (and by it I mean trees) for a while.

I've been a bit slack on uploading my tree climbing so prepare for a tree dump!

Tree #4

Wimped out on a snowy walk and went briefly wassailing* in the secret part of my garden above the outbuildings (where I have 4 baby fruit trees, and a small assortment of more mature trees).

Tree #3

Found in a park in a frosty, misty Weldrake.

Couldn't get onto the bottom branches so wedged myself between the V of the trunk. So didn't get up too high.

Even so, nice little climb - 6/10 for climbability using a rating system I made up while up the tree.

Tree #2

Did a bit of a climb,then got braver and did a bit more- ended up quite high... My dog was not sure about it.

Climbed this beaut to kick off 2025.

Got about 10ft up.

I'll come up with a way to rate the climbability of the trees later... For now I'm just enjoying the serenity of New Years Day.

Look at this good boy who's just completed his first ever Parkrun.

And only tried to pull me into the duck pond every lap.
