Hawley Place, Woodlands Walk, Hawley, Hampshire The gate leads to a (plant) nursery. The building to the right looks like a lodge, but has no windows overlooking the road. The building on the left is boarded-up at present. It has outside stairs to, probably, a first-floor flat. Beyond it is the bridleway through the woodland of Hawley Common.

Forestry track on Hawley Common This is taken looking west from a crossing of tracks, which are indistinguishable from the bridleways; careful mapreading is required! The white dots in the distance are dogs, being taken for a walk by a man on a bicycle at quite a speed; they were supposed to be middle of the picture, but I was too slow switching the camera on.
