    Lovely walk great and popular with families and dog lovers ..you have it all !!
    Peaceful, quite and nature at its best and S*%M B@*S that are targeting vechicles that may or may not have valuables contained in them...

    My beef is with the Council No Signs warning People watch OUT...

    Common sence I know at the best of times.

    Locals and regulars told me that it's every other day and several times for weekends...
    But it ruins a lovely area that everyone can go to get away from the Rats and other Vermin!!

    ok rant over ...

    So you want the council to put up a sign? What exactly will that achieve?

    Sometimes I park at the top gate where the stile is. At least it's in the open. what I don't understand is who on earth is doing it? Very few kids living around there - any who are are hard working lads.

    I wonder if the comittee who look after it have informed the Guards? The council don't have anything to do with the wood afaik.

    I thought they'd stuck in CCTV there, but worth parking out on road or up @ dairy farm for safety.

    Been using those woods a long time now and never lost anything, but a lot of people have had bits and pieces stolen. Best advice is leave nothing valuable on display.

    Put your belongings in your boot. The people doing this are pure opportunists. If there is nothing to hand for them to steal the worst case scenario will be a broken window. They won't hang around to get into the boot.

    My car was broken into here yesterday, and they did take the time to climb in through the smashed window and get in to the boot. :(

    I feel for you. A friend of mine also had her car window smashed in and stuff taken while walking in the same wood.
