Apparently it's not been a good year for bluebells - wrong kind of spring.

This afternoon I went to the Forest of Bere in search of Bluebells as recommended by the Woodland Trust website [1]

However it didn't live up to it's 5 star rating, but it was quite nice nevertheless - maybe I'm a bit late for Bluebells - there were some but not that many.

So I've had a good wander and should be able to redo most main tracks (there's also loads of little paths - which where never in before anyway - not that I walked many of them).

What's all nice is the Forestry Commission allow you to cycle on *all* paths, and horse riding is by permit only (tag as 'horse=permit' ?)

I'll remap it time permitting tomorrow morning (out and about tonight) plus fixing the longer routes that go through it from previous outings / and renewed knowledge.

I didn't go to the north parts of the Upperford Copse section though.
