There is another one out we would like to get called Tea Room Walks, mind you we were given two books for Christmas one called Walks in Suffolk and the other one Walks in Hertfordshire so if we get the Tea room book and these two we should have plenty to be getting on with.

This walk started in the car park of Friday Wood and did not go through the village of Layer De La Haye which is small and spread out. Just to the south of the village is Abberton Reservoir and you get really good views of this on the walk. The wood is sometimes used for army training exercises. We see the sign not to touch anything that may belong to the army and just by the sign in the grass was a ammunition box. We picked the right time to do this walk as there was bluebells out in the wood. We managed to go wrong in the woods but as always managed to find our way back on the right trail.
