oak and Scots pine in open woodland
After a not very good lunch at The Foresters, a walk over Long Valley.
I have not been here for a few years and was surprised by how much it had changed.
Where there was a vast area of sandy soil, it was now impenetrable thicket a couple of metres high. I barely recognised where I was.
Long Valley is open heathland between Aldershot and Church Crookham.
