The stone lined culverts were efforts made by the old collieries to try and minimise the amount of water percolating down into the mines. There's some examples near mallards pike too
👍👏. Great, thank you Richard ! Btw have you equipped yourself with a compass yet ! You need to in those trees! Mind you there is facility on your mobile phone ? ( I am a bit of a ' luddite ' so I wouldn't know that ! ) 🤔
Another great video - - did you find out what the tree with the hanging seeds at 3:55 and the cone at 6:55 was? You managed successfully in the video at least to keep away from people - looks very peaceful!
Sadly the cyclists are invading the forest it's hard to get away from them. Up to a few years ago I could walk for hours in the Forest of Dean on a bank holiday weekend and not see a soul. As walkers and day trippers don't tend to go far from the main attractions/carparks.

Went last Christmas actually so it's nice to see what the forest looks like with leaves on.
Thanks so much for watching!
Sumptuous woodland!
Oh the second walk had less fir/pine trees and more deciduous trees, which i prefer.
👍👏. Great, thank you Richard !

I do need to get a compass - I did have one but gave it to my daughter when she scaled Everest.

It is a shame with all the cyclists on the war path.
Asparagus
