Hoping to get in a quick spin on the gravelbike in Newcastle forest before the rain, I was shocked by what I found. While I knew Coillte was felling some trees, I was unprepared for the scale of the removal. It seems even parts of the forest that weren't badly damaged by the storm have been cleared. I'd guess about 75% of the forest east of the Inny is now gone. It's a truly depressing sight, and it looks like they're not even finished yet...
