Gnarled tree by the gate A fine specimen of gnarlyness. The footpath is one of the mysterious Berkshire Circular Routes which still appear as LDPs on some Ordnance Survey maps but have no other info or way marking.
The theory is that these routes were an initiative by the old Berkshire County Council which never got progressed after that council was wound up in 1998.

Small Pond on the Footpath It's been wet recently, and this pool has formed in a dip where the path crosses. Fortunately, that handy fallen log makes a dry way across.
