Will be in the Forest of Dean this weekend - wave to me if you see me!!

What to do?

Fuzz

Mountain bike... or walk.
Lots of trails to follow and there is a bike hire place there somewhere too.
Speech house and gardens is worth a look round too.

Aren't the paths a bit too rustic to get a wheelchair down?

Matteeboy

We bumped into Sporty Spice when walking there - she has a big place in the middle of nowhere.
She even said hello!

Watch out for the locals Pete!

Worth a look especially if it's wet above ground. Seem to remember there's a coal mine you can go down somewhere in the Forest too.

Other than that walking / biking as mentioned, some good pubs around, check out the Rising Sun in the middle of the forest, usually have the local Freeminer brews on tap, yum

Right time of year for chestnuts too.

Keep an eye out for forest sheep

Drive to Wales and have a blast on some top roads..................ah problem Pete only does 20mph. Someone warn the tractors.

Fuzz

There is one other thing that the forest is good for, but might get you into trouble if caught.
Some good tree "perches" to be found too.

Leslie

I reckon you will do well to get any surfing there!

I'm thinking of driving somewhere, getting out of car, walking a maximum of 100 yards and be entertained ....... all this apeing about and energetic stuff really is for you kiddies (Les excepted )

pslewis

Last time I was there - about 10 years ago - there were sheep in the roads - and sheep **** on the pavement ..... is it still the same or has foot'n'mouth seen the end of it?

Graz

Did see the end of them for quite a while...... but now you'll be glad to hear they're back

So that's the sort of weekend you're planning then Pete.

pslewis

Well, you know, do as the locals do

When in Rome, eh, Pete?
