| Picking the right conker is a big gamble, but usually as long as it's fresh and has a nice gloss it will be fine. |
| Each player takes turns to swing their conker at the others. |
| At the hamlet's Milbank House, a lime, a conker and a turkey oak shade a stone culvert and set their seed and nuts. |
| These ranged from the traditional knockabout with a conker on a string, to a conkernut shy, a play on the coconut version, and wingseed throwing. |
| This month, a local council lopped the branches off conker trees to stop children hurting themselves and the trees are to be replaced with a different species. |
| No danger of falling coconuts there, just the occasional conker. |
