Pinewood PagesThe long loop
Found a longer walk this morning. Instead of turning back at the clearing I followed the forestry track up the ridge and came down on the far side by the old quarry. About an hour at an easy pace, maybe a bit more if you stop as often as I do.
The track is wide and dry, good in any weather except right after heavy rain when the lower part turns to soup. Saw two deer at the edge of the clearing, and a buzzard sitting on a fence post as if it owned the place.
Early is best. By nine there are cyclists, and by ten the dogs.
