Phew! I never really had any doubt they'd be found guilty, but you never know. Let's hope for the biggest sentence they're allowed.

Yes I sadly agree.

Local-ish here as well.

I imagine not, I think it was probably a tragic accident but the 14 may have been involved in what caused the accident. If that makes sense.

Thank you for posting StillDiggin, I came to see if there was a thread for Layton. Absolutely tragic for the family. I am sure those arrested are also devastated. I wonder if any of them will actually be charged.

They remind me of teenage lads who think they're cool for being bad. Infuriating. My parents have gone to Sycamore Gap today for a walk. It seems strange calling it that now. I know the stump is there but it's not quite the same.

That's so sad. I wonder where he's been for the last few months. At least the family may now get some answers.

Absolutely gutted! I live in the north east and have been lucky enough to visit - before some idiot cut it down. I have no words but I do hope that if this 16 year old is involved, he is named and shamed once convicted. And that he feels shame for the rest of his life.

I am still devastated for those in the High Atlas Mountains. I have been lucky enough to visit twice and it is such a beautiful part of the world, with everyone I met being so friendly and welcoming. So many deaths, and people's homes turned to rubble. I wish I could go to help but...
