        John, it must have been a HUGE tree and without the steps, not even a giant could get to the top ... and my friend captured him "pushing me off it"

                    A rough estimate is for each person it takes to link hands round the narrowest part of the trunk is about 100 years.

                      I thought he was doing a pretty good 'Gollum' impersonation.

                        Ah! Ha! maybe Ross we were all mucking about and laughing and having fun ... just happened that there were quite a few cameras "clicking away" capturing Evidence thereof

                          I suppose that it could be said that when Nick was asked how old the tree was, he was STUMPED!
