April Walk


Twenty-one members and one small dog gathered at Lyndhurst Cricket Club car park before setting out on a pleasant scenic route of open forest and more wooded areas. Only one slight shower during the two hour walk with fleeting glimpses of sunshine in between cloudy skies. Several sightings of deer who hastily raced off as we approached. We came across a small plaque erected in Williams Copse where 900 sessile oaks were planted in 1979 to commemorate the creation of the New Forest in 1079 by William 1.

Cheeerful walkers
