Gate into the Forest Access gate into the less visited eastern part of Firestone copse. The main forest tracks are open for cycling, but the yellow notice warns against using unofficial paths which have been made as they could be dangerous.
That's probably half the attraction, but at least the forestry people have covered themselves.

Path in the Forest The smaller, eastern section of Firestone Copse is much less visited than the main bit on the other side of Firestone Copse Road. The tracks are muddier and less well maintained.

Ferns in the Forest Away from the paths, a lot of the forest is not easy to wander about in.

The Shore, Binstead The sign on the path leading down here from the road says "to the shore."
Not to the beach, an important difference. A mess of mud, seaweed, shingle and a lot of dead wood, this is a decidedly uncharismatic bit of coastline.

Stones and Clay There is just a surface scatter of stones here, stuck in an underlying layer of soft bluey-grey clay as seen centre shot.
Walking over it is a strange sensation. Not at all like the get nowhere fast trudge of shingle, more like walking on some sort of cobblestoned bog.
