[Talk-GB] Hampshire Vandalization - No Bere Forest?

[Nick Whitelegg]

It is a bit early though, they're normally late April/Early May.

I have seen a few this year though.

I guess the warm March and cold, wet April must confuse a fair few things, though it seems a good one for blossom. The colder weather seems to have put a brake on the over-advanced development seen during March, which is good if you don't want spring to end too early.

 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.
