PONIES, BLUEBELLS AND SORE FEET!



Today we decided to go for a short walk beyond the heath to find a field of bluebells which we had been told about. It seemed like simple instructions, over the bridge and second left.... hmmm.




On route I got some photos of the New Forest ponies which roam over the heath and woods, but we never did actually find a field full of bluebells, just clumps here and there. So we continued walking and tried to do a circular route through the woods... yes, you guessed, we got lost! Fortunately, we met some young hikers with a map and were able to confirm that we were heading in the right direction, but still needed to find a small path leading back to the heath. We had been this way about a year ago but from the opposite direction so Di guessed on one of the paths and we wearily plodded back to the site.
