The centre tree behind the tubular fence around the woods, facing the green at the bottom right of Farnborough Hill, has in recent weeks dropped a number of heavy branches onto the tarmac footpath beneath. Each time I've cleared the obstructions by heaving them over the rails, but I fear there are more to fall, perhaps hitting a pedestrian.
