I once decided it would be a cool idea to walk in straight line across England and began wondering how I would plan it.

For some reason I noticed and realised my half way mark was a few meters away from this tree. As in if you look at a map the tree sits in the center of England where its diameter is at its narrowest - check it out. An odd thing.

Looking at the topography from google maps and I remember thinking what an oddly beautiful tree in the middle of nowhere.

I even noticed it had a Wikipedia entry.

It was a few years ago and I never got round to trying to walk it.

Now a couple years later I hear it’s been destroyed and I grow more concerned for the future of man.
