Off out tomorrow morning to pick up another load of fallen Ash & Hazel. Mind you it does gall me that I have no room to store 'Green timber.' I might make an exception for some Hawthorn that I have spotted. I also managed to pick up some fallen Yew that was well seasoned and dry (ish). IMHO the very best of wood for burning on a stove, Once the stove is hot it burns just like coal..Indeed we do live in a funny old world. Two policemen have come across me whilst out scavenging fallen timber, neither gave me any grief. I will continue until challenged. If someone does challenge me, then I will ask for proof of his right to do so (Identity.) If satisfied he has the right to do so then I will stack the wood from whence it came. If he can't prove who he is I will tell him politely to FCUK OFF. He can take my vehicle number. and prosecute me. If he wishes so to do.ovenpaa wrote:On the subject of log splitters...
Jeremy Whines had someone on yesterday that had come across a fallen tree blocking the road so he had whipped out Thor the mighty chainsaw and chopped it up and neatly stacked it either side of the road. He contact Whines to to see where he stood legally regarding taking the wood he had cut up so a legal bod was called in and the answer.....
No way! The wood is privately owned and he had no right to it even though he had opened the road up again off his own back. They did discuss council owned land, if a tree falls over as a rates payer can you take it? Of course the answer again was no way so the bottom line is if you see a tree or branch down on the verge you are breaking the law if you tidy it up or take it.

Not in all place ... there are two acres of registered common land and any one resident in the parish may graze cows or collect firewood (and a few other things) on there. A couple of years back two neighbours were collecting fallen logs and the council appeared and told them to stop. I told the council to prove that they were breaking te law and the final response a few weeks later was, as I knew, that collecting wood is entirely legal.ovenpaa wrote:On the subject of log splitters...
