A small hop to start, and nothing much harder waits above it.

Not a safety inspection. Check the tree yourself before you trust it.

I very unsuspiciously named this Wingnut, just to not attract tooooo much attention to it, because this is such a precious tree that I don't want everyone to be finding it :) I'm putting it in here anyway to give you instructions on how to properly treat it, because this is also a hideout from the local band of kids. It's very very lovely! It's like the best hideout tree in the world, probably, or maybe at least the best hideout in the area. Haha ๐Ÿ˜ There are so many branches, and there's so much to do in it. There are so many places to sit, and it's absolutely phenomenal and lovely. You can also get very high. Anyway, in the higher courses, a couple of planks and stuff are mounted. Make sure to not hit or destroy those. Climb it with care, and if there are kids climbing it, just ask them for permission. Don't make them awkward. It's such a precious place, this tree, and I don't want it to be ruined. Yes, so that.
