    Its the driving that takes it out of you Nick.

    Don't know whats on South of Wisley, but my mate & I nearly bought it there one night. He had just got his first car, a vauxhall viva, and wanted to see what it could do.

    The A3 was quiet at night 30 years ago & that stretch was long and straight, but totally unlit.

    He was looking at his speedo & reading off the speed, "97.....98...99....100, we're doing a ton!"

    At that moment, the headlights revealed chevrons right across the previously straight road.

    In a split second he managed to swerve to avoid them & went round them on 2 wheels.

    It was the begining of work on a slipway for a new road, the M25.

              Well,that was a nice break:sunny: Too short..too hilly...and too dangerous with speed crazy cyclists every where!
              Not that much wildlife in the forest except this most wild critter who adopted us...something to do with Mrs Pal feeding it I expect:D
