Very cool tree standing right in the middle of a field. Its branches are thick, and you have to take quite good care to not fall, but it's quite satisfying to be climbing, really taking care every step of the way. The first branch was quite difficult for me to get to. With a little sort of jumpy jump action from standing on the roots, from standing on a bit of the bark, I was able to get to it. Otherwise, having someone give you a boost is perfectly nice. From there, I could go to about, I guess, 7 m in height or something, and there it became really too scary and difficult for me. It's very fun to go into a very nice place to just be in, look down on the field, just sit on one of the thick branches, and just have a little nap. Very cute!
