Brockenhurst adventures . . .

By Unknown 7:08 pm Adventures in the countryside . . .

After the hectic-ness of this week we decided to head to the calm, relaxing and tranquil setting of Brockenhurst, getting some much needed exercise and fresh air on our 6 mile walk/adventure through the New Forest.

Everything started well, we actually managed to head off in the right direction! And then half way round we hit the cattle farm, where there was a river of deep mud and cow pat covering the alleged 'path', okay if you're wearing wellies but as we were in clean walking shoes it was somewhat of a challenge navigating our way through the 100 metres of poop covered track. However, it was made all the more entertaining by the group of elderly ramblers that we'd recently passed attempting the same mud assault course with varying degrees of success/failure, all whilst one of the owners stood by and watched in her wellies, and her other half whizzing off on a quad bike down the very same track with no offer of a lift!

Despite one minor detour, a very late lunch and being thoroughly exhausted by the time we completed the route, it was just what we needed and have vowed to go on more walks.

Brockenhurst is a beautiful place, complete with village butcher, green grocer, bakery, pub and tea shops a-plenty it's the quintessential village location. It's somewhere I would love to live, namely in this thatched cottage . . .

All of the houses in the New Forest either have cattle grids at the end of the drive or are gated to stop any roaming cows, pigs or ponies from wandering in and eating all of your garden, however they do still try . . .
