Stick 12 update

Those of you with a short memory will surely recall Basil Wendal of Milton Keynes England had found a stick to kindly share with us. Unfortunately Basil could not quite recall where he had found the stick in question. "I can't quite recall, I found it a few weeks ago somewhere..." he admitted at the time. The good news is he has since recalled where he found said stick and is confident enough in the reality of the memory to now share with us the whereabouts of the stick he has found. (Hence the necessity of this update.) So tell as Basil where did you find a stick?

By the bottle banks located behind Morrisons the supermarket.

Thanks Basil for taking the time to recall this hitherto lost stick finding memory and sharing it with us. We can rest easy now that the mystery of where you found a stick is solved.

Sticks 19 and 20 and 21 and 22 and 23 and 24


A rather verbose young lady Amelia Dillingham from Crouch End England has found some sticks. Tell us Amelia just where you found your sticks and the exceptional curcumstance in which you found your sticks.

Dear Sirs at Found A Stick, let me share with you my great news, I have had a day of what stick finding legends are made from. A veritable orgy of sticks if you will. The first picture I send you is in my local park, I was walking through with my dog, eating some rather delectable chips bought not five minutes hence from a nearby and much favoured fish and chip emporium when, stone me, a rather fetching amount of sticks are thrust into my gaize, much like I venture, the poet Wordsworth coming upon a host of daffodills all those many years ago. Obviously I reached for my camera to capture this once in a lunchtime golden moment.




The second picture is I dare to think a truly astonishing picture. Showing three sticks, all rather fine solo specimens themselves, lined up on a double yellow line. I know a doubting thomas or those of a sceptical nature will claim this picture is in some way manufactured, doctored mayhap by adobe photoshop 2.5 or some other such slight of hand contrivance but I tell you now, without let or hinderence sirs, that this is not the case. These sticks were exactly like this when I found them, in the road outside my local park. So you can imagine my merriment when I write you this email. Indeed what a day.

Yes indeed a day of much stick finding wonderment. Thank you Amelia for sharing not only these fine pictures of found sticks but also your memories and explanation of sticks you have found for us here at Found A Stick.

Stick 18


Paul Punter of Brighton England has found a most interesting stick. A traditional and very pleasing curved stick brought to life by a captivating V formation at the end. Paul where did you find this traditional and very pleasing curved stick brought to life by a captivating V formation at the end?

Outside my backdoor.

So not far to travel then Paul? Just goes to show that finding a stick can be a localised event as well as an event that occurs further afield. Thanks paul for sharing your traditional and very pleasing curved stick brought to life by a captivating V formation at the end, with us.

Gareth Flavell of Holloway London has found a stick recently. Where did you find a stick Gareth?

Stick 16


Mary Mullens of Hull England has found a stick. Tell us please Mary just where did you find a stick?
In the gutter by the local cinema, I had just been to see the new George Clooney film The Man Who Stared At Goats and did not like it much at all. My disappointment was made better when i found this stick on the single yellow line as I was leaving.

Sorry the film was not so good Mary and thanks for the stick.

Sticks 13,14 and 15


George Smethurst of Sunderland England found three sticks within a few minutes of each other down by the railway line at the back of his house. This veritable stick finding bonanza he credits to the recent stormy weather but we here at Found A Stick put down to the most wonderful luck. He could not decide which of the trio of found sticks to submit so he sent us all three for us to decide and we think all three are worthy of inclusion, each for it's own reason. Firstly the above stick has clearly been played with by a dog, witness the chew marks in the middle. So our first Dog Stick here at Found A Stick.



This next found stick is only the second to feature a forked end here at Found A Stick but the first to have said fork at the left end (the previous example has it's on the right.)


And lastly easily the biggest stick so far, by the looks of this beauty you could easily fend off an attack from a rabid moongoose with ease. Thanks George for sharing your triple stick find.
