Signage at the start of the walk stating something along the lines of......"DO NOT ENTER.....DANGEROUS TREES....UNSAFE". The dog gave his opinion by cocking a leg on the sign. Not a good start.
David and I made the decision to "walk up the track to see what it's like" Alice went into full lawyer mode and got grumpy to boot. She's a bit of a stickler for rules our girl. She made her feelings quite clear by moaning/ haranguing/ lecturing as we ascended the Somme-inspired track .
- The track. Very gloopy
We kept as far from the trees as possible (which looked fairly benign to be honest) and did not stray from the gloopy track.
- Out towards the viewpoint
A simple there and back again took us to the viewpoint above the forest. The views were great and the indicactor made it simple to identify the peaks.
- Stunning views
Returned exactly the same way and bathed our orange dog in the burn until he emerged black and white again (not to mention a stone lighter).
This route was 3.9miles in total. Walked by Sarah, David, Alice and Nudge
