Oh Ron that was wonderful. The stone bridge, the quarry and the mine with its dressed entrance. Glorious woodland scenes and I loved your "supreme navigation" (luck: as described by Pauline) at the end. Great film - much more please. On to part 2

I'm going to make regular visits to the Forest of Dean and i'm looking forward to using my new gold panning equipment. I doubt that I'll find any gold in the rivers but it's a great place to practice.

Lucky you Lewis, my wife wouldn't let me have a gold panning dish, she said I spend too much time out as it is. good luck. Ron

i grew up in surrey in the middle of the green belt. as a kid i could walk all day without meeting another soul, and you could get real milk, not that coloured water, they call milk, nowadays, after they've taken all of the good bits out. now us old gits that remember how it used to be, aren't dying off quick enough for their liking. so their speeding it up a bit. but you reap what you sow. i think that we, were the lucky ones. i feel sorry for today's youngsters. and you, keep fighting. my sincere best wishes to you and anyone else that still remember how it was

Hi John, it is certainly picturesque. Hard to describe, but if you head up the valley from the cycle center it is on your left. You will know if it is the right path if you see tramway sets at regular intervals. Look out for the boar! P.W.

This is beautiful. I'm researching this forest for a project and would love to ask a few more location questions. Have you ever walked around the area near Saint Anthony's Well?

Hi Andrew This mine seems to close then re open quite regularly. When I shouted to the two guys standing there, that ‘there wasn’t much work being done’ one of them pointed to his black dog and said “What do you mean, he was white this morning”. Wonderful forest humour.
