Well spoken. I'll post more pics of the oak when it leafs out. Owners are talking about budget now so I will reassess briefly in a month or so. If they cry poor I may just sell them a light reduction in August.
re the beech, well documented! From all I see, the only sure thing to do is chisel away the dead wood that inhibits closure by callus. To reduce the risk to the path, maybe a fall-arrest cable attached to a tree away from the path.
I don't think the old folks would like walking through a steel cage very much...
