Wurdy's Hiking Trip

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i just got back from a trip to the new forest, near Southampton, and was just wondering if anyone else had been on any interesting or fun trips at all and wanted to share :D

 

Mine was fun excluding the numerous bruises and blisters D: over 2 days myself and a group of three others walked 30 miles and camped at a scouts activity centre called ferny crofts. came across a few interesting things along the way including a dead cow that managed to drown itself in a bog... Anyways, hopefully you guys have some fun things to share :D.

Woah that's crazy GJ man, may I ask what happened to The Old Forest?

yea basically it was inhabited by an ancient tribe thousands of years ago and during a tribe ritual, where they set goats on fire, a goat managed to escape into the forest setting fire to the trees and then burning it all down... sad story really

I'm doing my Duke of Edinburgh Silver expedition in the New Forest this weekend ? Staying at Ferny Crofts too.

Funniest experience that I've had when hiking was when two of my team went off ahead, and when the rest of us caught up with them they were being surrounded by three horses in a field.  We ended up getting someone to go parallel to the field to make a bunch of noise to draw the horses away.

Haha, yea they're are tonnes of horses in the new forest. im doing D of E but im not doing my expedition just yet, one of the groups that went with us got chased by badgers... wouldn't have expected that :DDDD
