fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Thank you Shire Hill and the Story Tree. *Also thanks @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social 000
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025My family were freaking out that I was too high (O reckons 40ft but he's just as terrible at spatial awareness as me). I could have gotten higher (I have in the past) but I didn't want to upset them so came down and retold a PG version of "The Voyage of Bran"* to the kids before hopping down. 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Someone has started to make a shelter on the very bottom branches which I was careful not to disturb which did make climbing on and off a little more difficult but I still loved it. 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Situated almost at the very top of Shire Hill in a clearing just off from the East footpath, it's thick sprawling branches are perfect to haul yourself up onto, curl up onto a nook and tell a story to those below. 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Tree #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. 110
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025 Really enjoyed this tree! 8/10 Would climb again!!! 000
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Got the highest so far (around 20ft, I'm terrible at spacial awareness!) it lost a few points for how difficult it was to get to the base of the tree (in a ditch with lots of brambles & spindley low hanging branches), the challenging reaches but gained points for the cheeky mushrooms growing on it! 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Took the scenic route home after dropping the kids at school and found this snowy lovely! 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Tree #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. 110
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025* Every year on 12th night I go and sing at some trees - I usually make the children come with me, they were lucky this year. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/discover/his...nationaltrust.org.ukWassailing │ Twelfth Night traditionsFind out about the Twelfth Night tradition of wassailing, a pagan Christmas tradition that involves singing, dancing and drinking cider from a wassail cup. 000
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I really want to put a treehouse up the tree but will have to include ladders I think. So.... It loses points for ease of climbing, and for the tricksy ivy, got a good view of my house and left an offering for the Squirrel God that lives in the tree. 4/10 for climbability. 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Got fooled by a bit of dead ivy pretending to be a branch and nearly fell off which, coupled with the slippery snowy branches knocked my confidence so I didn't venture too much higher than 5/6ft (from the base of the tree- the fall down the roof back to my garden would have been much further!!!). 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Then I hopped up the Sycamore tree growing out from the back of my outbuilding - which people keep telling me to chop down but that I never will. 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Unfortunately, I could only remember the words to No Children by The Mountain Goats so hopefully that will be enough to appease the spirits and ensure a bountiful harvest this year! 100
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I'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). 120

fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Tree #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. 000
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Tree #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. 010
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Climbed 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. #ClimbMoreTrees #NewYearsResolution #Trees 000
fleewitt.bsky.social @fleewitt.bsky.social · 01/01/2025What's your New Year's resolution? Joyful answers only! I'll go first: My New Year's resolution is to climb more trees 🌲🌲🌲 I climbed 3 in 2024 I think I can beat that this year! 100
