  • I don't even think ancient woodlands are that "fragile"

    I'm guessing it is not necessarily just about the trees but the rare lichens etc that are within the ecosystem that hammock straps & footfall could damage.

  • That's a decent shout. But still - how useful is ancient woodland so delicate no one can go in?

    Still can't see hammock camping becoming those lichens most pressing challenge given the rate the climate seems to changing.

    I've not been to Dartmoor in a while, but I've been struck by how significantly less boggy the Black Mountains in Wales have been on my last couple of trips.

    So, the lichen will die and less people will have seen them before they do would be my prediction. Happy Friday.

  • how useful is ancient woodland so delicate no one can go in?

    In terms of biodiversity, very.

    Undoubtedly. Not necessarily a good reason reason to accelerate the destruction of the few rare & ancient ecosystems though.
