Well Ive reached a big milestone in my membership and contributions to the forum
As someone, who shall remain nameless, said recently to me by PM Im only ½ a post a day less gobby than Mr Fenna 
Anyway, as per custom and practice on the forum for things like this Im doing a competition. I gave it a lot of thought and decided to make you lot work for the prize
So how well do you know your tree barks?
As you can see, Ive taken close up pictures of 10 different tree species, all of which can be found growing wild in the UK and can be regarded as native or naturalised.
All you have to do is correctly identify all 10 species. When you post your guesses I will tell you how many out of 10 you have correctly identified. To make it harder I WONT tell you which ones youve got right though so youll have to work it out by trial and error which ones are the correct answers. The other thing to bear in mind is I may not have used adult trees as subjects for the pictures
Once I have scored your entry youre free to enter again so good luck with it
Wait I hear you ask whats the prize?
The prize will be goody box stuffed full of bushcrafting bits and pieces and I can assure you therell be some nice bits in it
So without further ado and waffling onto the competition
