Nita initiated this walk but, unfortunately, was unable to lead as she is still recovering from her fall in the Elan Valley.
Beryl's instructions were to turn down this lane |
However, 5 of us met by Warren Wood, Clophill on a very hot afternoon. (Linda Billingham, Penny Jamieson, Jean and Malcolm Sykes, and myself, Beryl.) It was noticeably cooler in the wood and there was a pleasant breeze. The trees looked beautiful with dappled sunshine dancing on the bright green leaves. We took our time and had a gentle, amicable meander through the woodland noting much coppicing which had taken place many years ago and a very long, planted, avenue of trees. We felt we would love to know how the avenue came about. There was also a huge Redwood towering over all the other trees. (I can recall pushing my pram through the avenue of trees walking from Silsoe to Clophill to visit a friend over 50 years ago!)
