Went the little back roads from the Picnic Site, rather than up A48. Up through Wollaston, the views across the Severn were awesome. No where to stop, so case of driving slow and looking!! Wanted to spot Deer, and Boar in Forest Of Dean. There are loads of places to pull in and park to go for a walk. It was a ridiculously hot day again, so somewhere shady would be good. Does seem a shame these pull ins are used as rubbish bins, why can't folks just take it home with them, or dispose of in a bin somewhere? How much effort does it take? I often end up with extra rubbish in truck, picking it up as I go, then chucking in a bin further down the road. Doesn't cost me anything to do it!!
Only saw Deer in the woods, but did hear snuffling at one point, so maybe a Boar, or a Badger. Forest Of Dean
A detour from the coast was decided as I want to visit Avebury, and surrounding areas. Always loved it there, grew up nearby. Choosing where I go and when is part of the pleasure of this trip! Have a plan of sorts, but nothing rigid. On A4 before Avebury, spotted a layby right by some Gallops. Great for dogs, who can stretch their legs on the Gallops, and surrounding grasslands. Several footpaths too, with views of the stunning rolling countryside. No dogs on Gallops between 7.30-12.30. Took several images, will upload to thevalleyphotographer.co.uk
