Benniboy and Ali G went to the wilder today. Nh had to miss wilder studies due to a dentist appointment. The 2 treeswingers went to the treeswing area. We tried to get the legendary treeswing down but we failed, despite our best efforts.

Next we went to the Sapling. We ascened with no harnesses. It was all the same. We looked at the current structures and the available timber, we decided to go and get some more natural timber.

We went to the deep and found a nice fallen tree. After a little struggle we managed to get it out and carried it to the sapling castle. Then we went and checked the status of the treehouse. Benniboy climbed up and the hatched was still locked, there was just a stick wedged under the frame, looked like they were trying to break the whole frame, it was still rigid. It llooked like they had been but failed miserably.

We went in the treehouse and threw the big fence plank down and some other useless planks. When we were descending, the fellow dog walker came by. He. Must have seen all the timber we had chucked down. We told hime we had taken further security measures and added another lock. He seemed impressed :)

Next we went back to the Miata, we had to get the rope, so we could pull up the timber. We dedcied to got to Mcdonald's. Ali G had a voucher, so Benniboy used that and got a meal for £2. Ali G got a normal meal, as he could get a drink and free cheeseburger with it.

When we were leaving the wilder, we saw Sonny and what looked like Martin and Lewis with him! Ali G filmed them as we drove past, but then we were blocked by a learner. They were about to walk right past us, but lukily we could pass the learner in time.

They had updated the interior of the Mcdonalds, it was laid out differently, more modern - they had leather sofas.

We deployed back to the wilder, took the rope and saw. Went to the treeswing and used the roped to get the treeswing down. It took many attempts. Benniboy tried climbing up band throwing the rope, then a muggle walked past. We were ambushed by a clang of muggle cyclists, Ali G managed to retreat.

We eventually got the good old treeswing down. It was quite frayed at the base. Ali G got straight on it and took it for a swing. It seemed fine, it was good to be back on a treeswing.

We then went and got the timber from the base of the treehouse. We left the big fence plank. We went back and retrieved the fence plank. It was a 2 man job to carry. When we were half way to the sapling a muggle came, we dropped the plank in the middle of the path, and retreated to the bouncy treeswing. Had a few bounces and then continued moving the plank.

Benniboy went up the sapling, while Ali G tied up the timber. Benniboy pulled them timber up, using the crane method. We had cut the big fallen tree in half. Both bits came up hassle free..

Ali G came up and we started placing the large timber in place. The hardest was the heavy part of the fallen tree. There were a few muggles, including the usual dog walker and old lady. But at the saplin castle is stealthy none of them saw us.

We descended and went to the field. We played football for a while. As we were leaving a group of dog walkers came. I'm pretty sure it was Zak and his family. He grinned at us and it looked exactly like him. But Ali G didn't think it was him, maybe it ws the look a like.
