silent thunder Posted March 7, 2021 The gentle man in this article had an idea to log the great and significant trees along the Welsh border as a personal project of love. 13 years later, he's about done. Quote Rob McBride has been walking the 177 mile (285km) Offa's Dyke path logging culturally significant trees since 23 April 2008. He initially thought it would take "a few weeks" to complete and is writing a book about his passion project. "Trees, people and culture are all interlinked," he said. Mr McBride, who lives in Ellesmere in Shropshire, is aiming to complete his venture on 23 April 2021, which would make it 13 years to the day since he started. He has been recording the trees for the Woodland Trust and the journey will be recorded in his forthcoming publication The Great Trees of Offa's Dyke. Over the years he has walked, cycled, camped and hitch-hiked, spending days away from home at a time to catalogue the "arboreal treasures". What an amazing process this must have been for him... and for the Woodland Trust. Good on ya and thank you Mr McBride! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
