Landpark Wood

At Landpark Wood B4540/B4541, Bedfordshire 2013/2/13. Pathways very muddy in places. Not good for "silly shoes". Stout footwear, boots or wellies a must. 


From the free car park near the roundabout, there is a gate through to a meadow.  A litter bin and dog poo bin are available close by. Immediately ahead is a tarmacadamed path leading to a picnic table. The meadow is ideal for dogs to run around on. The meadow has a picnic table. Dirt paths run off at several points from the meadow. The paths are uneven and not suitable for people with walking difficulties. Great for a ramble and for exploring.


         














         
Thank you for looking.

PhotoSpot: Early Morning In The Snow

Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, as the sun was coming up. Sadly no majestic sunrise to see, but I got a few shots all the same. First try out with my new Canon 450D. Pro-prints available from the link above.

A Snowy Whipsnade Zoo

A bright February day, and the snow was all around. What better for an outing to my local zoo, Whipsnade, in Bedfordshire.

Chalk Pit Clean Up Day 10/3/2012

Houghton Regis Chalk Pit Clean Up Day 10th March 2012.

Houghton Regis Chalk Pit is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Locate on Google Maps. 

 Access is via Lake View, Houghton Road, LU5 5AZ. A footpath runs from the west of Lake View between the fishing lake and the chalk pit. About 200mtrs along the footpath is the pedestrian kissing gate entrance to the Chalk Pit. Wear boots, as it can be muddy. There are no facilities for toilets and access for disabled is very difficult. 

 The site is managed by Wildlife Trusts. See http://www.wildlifebcn.org/
