No!! Never been to the spot but I know exactly the one you’re talking about and it’s rightly famous. So many people adding nothing to this world but misery and destruction. I mean, I know it’s only a tree but you can be sure it contributed more to this world than the human that destroyed it! And to what purpose?
Somehow this tree had passed me by. Seeing the image in the report of when it was standing it’s easy to see why it was much admired and loved by so many.
Utterly moronic to cut it down.

It's just some ****. Not the whole world. I'm still nice. Lovely in fact.
It's the Chels innit. Not going to just take losing to an f'ing tree.
Locals pissed off at tourist traffic ? Whatever, moronic thing to do

if it was one of the most photographed trees in the world then it would have had hoards of people going there. Its not a leap to think therefore that is is a disgruntled land owner/farmer weas annoyed that his sheep are disturbed/ gates left open/ litter etc.
I don't think Columbo will need to be called in on this one.

I don't think so. This is in one of the most beautiful sections of Hadrians Wall. Sycamore gap was just one of many photo opportunities. I have a sneaking suspicion this is an act of revenge by some sad sap of a bloke, looking to get revenge on a woman who has slighted him and who was fond of the tree.

Yeah, while there’s always been idiots in the world, I’ve always consoled myself with the fact that they’re a minority.
I’m seeing so much in our politics, our culture and the general population that disturbs me, I’m wondering if the scales have tipped the other way.

Hope they find the bugger that did it but doubt if any punishment will fit the crime.

What can you say about this horrible moron? Apart from the fact he needs a good shoeing?
I would suggest when sentenced he has to spend every weekend for the next few years planting saplings...

I hope someone, somewhere can teach him the value of heritage. No doubt, he was caught through bragging to his mates (although that is purely supposition)
Sorry.
