Road, Monument Wood Several 4*4s had just come past, it's the shooting season.  This meant I had no guarantee of getting to the square that I was aiming for - but timing the trip for lunch time and a lot of luck provided a clear run.   The woodland is glorious, shame the sunshine on Cheviot did not reach this far west.
