Slade woods – up the road I had never been up – just opposite Severn Tunnel Junction.
New woods to try today, didn’t have a huge amount of time, but seems okay. We parked up and walked down the main “road” in the woods, then veered off to the left. Luckily Kate had her trusty compass or we would never have found our way in, or out alive.
There is supposed to be a lot of good cycling tracks in the woods, thankfully we didn’t see any. The woods look quite expansive, so we will probably go back and explore some more another day. For today we were happy to find a secluded spot and light a fire. Kate was supposed to use her strike fire, but it didn’t work – in fact we only just got it going with big matches. Bear Grills we aren’t.
