This morning Marge, we must move you, around thirty paces. Why leave this beautiful place? Our leisure batteries were struggling, our solar panels had been in the shade of the trees too long so we moved the van into the sun to boost our amps. Another day, another cycle trip.
This time to Burley. Mostly off road along the old railway line the Castleman Trail. A round trip of twenty miles. The visitors of the weekend long gone we barely saw another soul, which suited us just fine. We know how lucky we are to be able to go away anytime and avoid the crowds.
Burley a traditional new forest village, famous for its witchcraft, always amazes us as to why it draws the crowds. Saying that, we were drawn to a property that was for sale right in its centre. A charming cottage with two commercial buildings. £900,000, seemed cheap to us.
Luckily, we don't have the funds or John would have put in an offer. Whilst we've been in the forest, we have come to realise that we would like to live here in the forest. Detached house please, small garden with grass. Best make a plan?
Sadly, tomorrow we must return home, but not before we cycle out
again. We need the practice, and time is now limited. We are already making
plans for another trip away soon, hopefully to Symonds Yat on the Wye to scout out a packrafting adventure later in the summer. Meanwhile our message
to you all is, don't stay at home', get out there. Nature is a wonderful
drug.
