At Gloucestershire Outdoor Group, we love walking all over the county, and the Forest of Dean features regularly on our programme of events. Here’s a recent once, capturing the sunshine and the fresh air, and a bt of history too…
The group enjoyed an energetic walk through the late autumnal woods around Soudley in the Forest of Dean. It was cold at the start but the sun was shining and we soon warmed up. The route wound it’s way along tracks and paths, some well used by the group in the past and others totally new to us. There were great views from Staple Edge ridge to the river Severn and over to Wales and the Brecon Beacons There was a flash of electric blue from a kingfisher as we left the carpark, four fallow deer paused to watch us.
