It took a few minutes to orientate ourselves and find the path we wanted out of the car park. There are so many options here. There is a tricky little "u" turn just before Drivers Plantation to find the gate that then leads to the path that runs around the edge of the plantation. After a while you come across a stile that seems to lead on to another path but the path soon vanishes and you find yourself having to tread very carefully through boggy ground while ducking beneath fallen trees. The assault course is not recommended (see map). It is better to take the southerly track that rejoins the Ferndown Stour and Forest Trail. After this point the route was much simpler.
We had a coffee break in Uddens Plantation followed by another short stop to admire the view from Cannon Hill.
This was a very pleasant walk on a bright sunny day following parts of The Castlemain Trailway as well as the Ferndown Stour and Forest Trail.
Lunch was at The Horns Ferndown. They are open for food all day and two meals can be bought for £11.49. Ray and I had Hunter's Chicken which was very good value for the price. Service was good and prompt.
