The recent treeswinger duo has had to change. Nh now has a job from 7:30 to 3:30. This means he can no longer continue wilder studies during the normal working hours. Meanwhile Ali G has replaced his position. Nh will have to meet the treeswingers after work, fortunately he can now drive and will no longer need escorting by Benniboy.

Due to the treeswinger swap and the neglected saplin castle, the treehouse construction was transferred to the treehouse vol.2 (aka saplin castle).

The agreed upon time was 11am sharp, however Alastair Gray went to sleep too late and didn't get his 9 hours sleep, and so woke up late. He warned Benniboy and suggested meeting at 11:30, but Benniboy had already left. Benniboy worked on the saplin for an hour, until Ali G came an hour late at 12:10, tut tut.

The 2 treeswingboys explored the widlerness for fallen trees. They found some very strong trees, but they were also very heavy. We used the climbing rope to drag the heaviest tree.

Improper Technique

Heavy Tree

The heavy tree is still not at the base of the saplin, but it will be fully transported by tomorrow, with the use of skateboards. We pulled down some big trees that were resting on another tree, but they snapped after falling and were too thick for saplin construction. We collected about 6 good quality trees.


We managed to ascend 3 to the treehouse and place one is a suitable position.
