Great walk, more berries ate than picked. Gnats galore got bitten to death and then got caught in a right old downpour on the way down - all absolutely sodden, but had a brilliant time!

When I was at TyDraw Farm, I used to take the kids and helpers on a landrover trip treat through the forestry up above the waterfall across the river (ford) and up to the little colliery reservoir where they were able to swim and paddle in the water (too cold for me!) and shower under the upper fall. Why don't you try it?

It doesn't give any details of their plans and the 'master plan' that you can download is of poor quality and unreadable. Where are the detailed plans? If they let people know what they plan to do then maybe they will be suprised by the support for it. You can't support something without being told what it is. A very poor website.

There is a fair bit of information in their questions section which they were initially unaware of/unable to answer at their exhibition, many of these ideas seem to have sprung from people's responses to their questionnaires, especially the country park idea. However, I am of firm opinion that if they were truly responsive to the feedback gained at their exhibition their plans would now consist of no houses at all, instead a mix of leisure and tourism development.
