I have to say I ws curious about that. When I asked you why you weren't walking the Pennine Way and you said you wanted to see the Forrest of Bowland especially (I know YOU LOVE trees), I checked it out on the Internet, and I couldn't see any trees. Do you suppose there USED to be one?? It seems odd?
A little information from Bob's companion today. The name forest is used in a traditional sense of a royal hunting ground and much of the land still belongs to the British Crown as part of the Duchy of Lancaster. Bowland survives as the north west remainder of the Ancient wilderness that once stretched over a huge part of England. Of course a lot of these ancient woodlands no longer remain. Barry
