Ogden's Wood

Jericho Wood Sitting on the northern end of Great Gonerby's ridge.
This is a difficult square to Geograph, with no easy access other than by the occasional direct train between Grantham and Ancaster. And then, as the train speeds along just the few hundred yards not in a cutting (with trees obscuring the view over half of that), just seconds in which to take a picture.

Hidden path to the Viking Hide Just off the bridleway this narrow path leads to the birdwatching hide at Marston Bird Scrape. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/215758">SK8942 : Information board at Marston Bird Scrape</a> for information. The hide has disabled access ramps although it would be hard going along the soft ground at the field edge from the roadside car park to this path.

Aubry's Screed near Syston This farm track turns right off River Lane, itself a similar track which turns south to Little Oak Wood. Aubry's Screed, on the left, is a narrow belt of mixed woodland which climbs Hambleton Hill. The grid square boundary goes across the picture just where the track disappears from view.
