The woods are lovely, dark and deep...
Well, they are in places.
There are four different walks - we took a meandering route which took in a bit of all of them I think, including the bridleway and cycle track. Dad and I wanted to follow the proper routes, but Mum wanted to go the way she had with Laura, and with Dawn, and the time they'd come up here before. Sigh - it's easier not to argue. We saw all the bits she remembered anyway.
Next time we go up, Dad is just going to drop us off so that we don't have to pay £4 parking. £4! And we'll do the Firecrest Walk. 1.5 hours. Yay! Dad isn't great on uneven ground, so I didn't even suggest it this time. All credit to him for happily tackling the steep flint path shortcut though. He came up it better than Mum - not bad for a man in his 70th year!
