May walk


Chilly start, spoilt after continuous sunshine for weeks, we bravely set out 22 of us including one grandson and a friendly griffin on Dave's well timed walk through different types of heath and conifer covered landscape. We spotted a herd of deer just seen in photograph. We passed what is marked down as a tumulus but one member gave the history of where a reinforced submarine pen was built so that the best way to destroy them could be practised. We passed many old bomb craters where even Barnes Wallis dam busting bombs were also dropped.Ashleigh walk bombing range
