Captured at the main entrance, Oakwood Avenue, to the Clarendon Park mentioned at reference 1. At some point, someone thought to plant two lines of new Wellingtonia, one on each side, perhaps twenty years old now, with this snap taking in an older tree and part of the new southern line. Was it the dying gasp of the tree-loving hospital director or a nice gesture by the incoming speculative builders?
Additionally, a scatter of older trees.
Worrying about how to score this sort of thing, I emailed the secretary of the rules committee who replied as follows: 'In reply to yours of the 4th inst., the committee has ruled as follows: "The scope is trees in excess of 5 metres high. Two trees in scope are linked if their basal trunk centres are less than 10 metres apart. A clump is a maximal subset of linked trees. Not more than one tree in any one clump can be scored. Or put another way, the unit of capture is the clump not the tree. Note that most clumps will consist of just one tree. Note also that a tree that cannot be touched cannot be scored". Please get back to me if you have any further queries on the matter'.
I suspect that the trees in and around the entrance to Clarendon Park will, on inspection, amount to more than one clump, so expect more captures in due course.
PS: the new pedals of reference 2 are just about visible here. They are doing well and I am already worrying about where I will be able to get some new ones when the rubbers wear out.
