The Lookout tree


This huge Oak  tree has a history, but as yet, I don't know the full story. It has metal climbing pins set into the trunk and a more recent rope attached alongside.
I have been told that it was used for Communication when the local coal mines were in use but whether that means the mines that were actually in the wood (not yet found) or in the vicinity, is a mystery.  This tree is at the highest part of the woodland but I am too chicken to climb it and see how high you can go! Any volunteers?
