California? Forest of Dean, here we come!

A group of visitors from CSMA Whitemead enjoyed a two-hour circular guided walk from Parkend. They covered different sorts of trails, from disused railway tracks, old tramways and wide forestry tracks. They marvelled at the glaring evidence of wild boar activity although, sadly, the boar did not deign to appear in person. The two visitors from California felt very much at home as they were shown a grove of redwoods — a surprising contrast after the oaks, birches and beeches that they enjoyed at the beginning of the walk!
