A British man was spotted having a personal picnic at the top of a 60-foot tree in Royal Victoria Park in the English city of Bath. A man named Dai Barrow and his friends were hanging out in the park on Wednesday, July 22 when they looked up and saw the man perched on a very thin branch. Scary!
- How did the guy even get up there? Admittedly, it doesn’t look like the tree the man chose for his picnic was particularly easy to climb. Dai and his friends were absolutely baffled as to how the man made his way up there and why.
- This is what you call “social distancing at its best.” We’re all supposed to be keeping our distance from others to avoid spreading coronavirus at the moment, but this is taking social distancing to the extreme! However, if the man was looking for a little bit of peace and quiet, he picked the perfect place to do it. “How did he get up there? I think he has binoculars too. Social distancing at its best,” Dai said. “Just having a little picnic at the top of the tree. What a lad.”
- It’s unclear what he was doing up there. While Dai assumed the man in the tree was having a picnic, the truth is that he’s too high up in the tree to actually tell. “I couldn’t quite tell what he was doing. He kept moving something to his face, maybe a drink, maybe binoculars?” he told Somerset Live. “I couldn’t really make it out. I would guess he was 50-60ft off the ground.” Dai added, “I have no idea how he got up there. None of us saw him get up there and we didn’t stick around to see him come down. It seemed as if he was there alone as no-one else was waiting for him at the bottom.”
- Hopefully he got down safely! Dai and his friends left before they could see what became of the gentleman in the tree, but here’s hoping he was able to get down safely!
