Bird nesting I always got picked for the small whippy trees because I was small and they were less likely to snap, had some crazy tree swings back in the day with rope no thicker than baler twine.

we had a wee guy we used to send up for the chessies/conkers we couldn't get throwing sticks at. Wee c**t could out climb a monkey. Rope swings and catches were the dogs bullocks I wish I was young again

I could climb anything aslong as I had a bunk up to the first branch, good memories of some great times growing up.

I wasn't too shabby a climber too lol. Here Johnny, did you ever climb a tree, you and your mates, hide and watch c**ts going by not knowing you were there and pretending they were soldiers

That's just reminded me of a really tall, thin, whippy tree that used to grow in the school field! A few of us more hefty lads used to climb up a bit and the whole thing used to bend down. Then the smallest lad would catch hold of the top and we'd all let go and send the fecker rocketing back up! The small lad's name was Johnny too, funnily enough!

That brought back memories. Me and my mate used to do that when my Mum and his Mum went for a walk wi the dogs. Had to climb trees so the dogs wouldn't find us. They'd walk passed and we would climb down and run through the wood to get to the next passing point...

And playing on the ice...very dangerous. Remember playing "Man Hunt"...(sort of hide and seek kind of game) in the old quarry.......deep pools iced over. Me and a mate smashed a bit of ice and hid and watched as we tried to get a few mates to fall in....WTF.. ....could have killed them if they went under....them were the days though...

Silver birch's were great for tree swinging Mal I'm getting all emotional with this nostalgia

 

 

baw remember these on the railways, they were the best catapult ammo ever, iron ore balls.

Lol mate. I can mind watching that film omen when the guy went under the ice and thought, ooooft. Never stopped you though

Great photos Johnny. No, missed that trick mate the iron ore balls, never seen them. Pea shooters firing ball bearings were more our thing than the cattys. Hence why I want to read a good catty book

Donr some daft stuff mate. I remember my mates running over really thin ice. You were to run down the steep slopes in the quarry and run across these frozen ponds...the ice was cracking and it was like a f***ing carpet on water just waving up and down. How now one drowned i'll never know. I on the other hand never risked daft stuff like that.......i was...ermmmmm "heavy boned" when i was that age......

Remember climbing up to what I thought was a magpie nest, good way up when a couple of squirrels come running out.. I let go and fell lol

We used to climb the tree tops through the woods, from one side to the other..

It's great to think from as far south as we are right up to Scotland and everywhere between, we were all doing much the same things back then..

 

As for the opening post, if your letting your 3 year old stick his hand under a gate with a dog on the other side, you should take a look at your parenting in my opinion.... It's your job to protect them at that age mate..
