Broadmoor Bottom

Lower Star Posts, Nr Crowthorne, Berks A large forested sandy area. The picture was taken near the start of an orienteering event, and shows a runner proceeding along one of the many large forest tracks in the area. The forest is mainly of mature coniferous trees. The area is used for timber extraction and as a military training area. A substantial fence separates the military area (to the south) from the rest of the forest - this fence can be seen on the right.
