Crown Stirrup
Crown Stirrup ★★
The weather forecast was terrible predicting rain and very high winds.  Clive got the wind up and failed to turn up.
Three toughies headed out from the car park at the Crown Stirrup and out through the back garden to join Beechen Lane.  The Forest was really wet and we had, similarly to last week, decided to stick to the cycle tracks.
There was quite a lot of rain and wind but it really did not seem as bad as forecast particularly to those with umbrellas.  Unfortunately Ray's was still in Westbourne. There was one, and only one, very brief touch of sun captured in one of the photos below.
There were still more signs of the damage already inflicted on the trees with numerous shallow rooted conifers ripped out of the sodden ground.
It was a decent walk in spite of the weather and we were pleased to have been out for the day.
Liver and bacon casserole with mash and vegetables and a pot of tea rounded off the day nicely.
