After spending a month in Sri Lanka I was looking forward to getting back down the wood and enjoying the beautiful late spring weather.
Unfortunately it seems that other people have been enjoying the wood in my absence.
My log store (full of seasoning logs) has been razed to the ground, several other fires have been lit, a lot of my timber for projects has been burnt, signs and boundary fences damaged, the compost toilet has been upended, beer cans, bottles, and litter, are strewn around the area.
I'm disappointed that people feel that this kind of behaviour is amusing to them. I have put in extraordinary amounts of work only to have most of it destroyed by morons. I'd estimate that the real-time cost of all of this damage is in excess of £2000.
Fortunately the police have taken an interest and will be collecting the bottles and cans for DNA and fingerprint analysis. I sincerely hope that they catch someone for this.
I have contacted a local newspaper and I'm hopeful that they might run the story, if only to shame the scumbags that did it.
Actually there's not much point in trying to analyse the behaviour, if someone is prepared to do this then they really don't give a shit.
At considerable cost I have now ordered, and will be installing, motion sensing HD surveillance cameras; if they come back then I'll try to make them famous.

| Damaged boundary fences. |
 |
| Tarp ripped down. |
 |
| The ladders etc were chained to the log store. The log store is ashes and the ladders have actually partially melted. |
 |
| The compost toilet has been upended. It must have taken them a lot of effort do this. |
 |
| The large cordwood pile of Oak logs has either been burnt or scattered. |
 |
| A number of very large Birch logs that I put aside for a project have been burnt. |
 |
| Yet another fire. The morons very kindly burnt a lot of my timber. |
