Whilst studying the Ordnance Survey map yesterday evening I spotted a path through nearby Hanger Wood I have not previously walked. Obviously this oversight needs to be rectified as soon as possible. So this afternoon that’s where I am heading.

Our Final Day at Cholsey Grange
It is our final day at Cholsey Grange, we will be heading home tomorrow. But before we depart there is still time for one more walk in this stunning countryside.
It is another cracking day, there are clouds in the sky, but no fear of any rain. I study the map and identify a “jam about” that for the major part will cover footpaths we have not previously walked. This is my favourite kind of walking.

A Circular Route From Ibstone to Turville Heath and Fingest
I have had a couple of busy days, lots of activity at Cholsey Grange and completing some work whilst admiring the view from my office, the awning. After a week of being on site I am well into the routine of welcoming new arrivals and I am enjoying riding around on Ted’s mower! It’s a pity the grass is not growing quicker!
One of the new arrivals has been our friends Richard and Trudie, we met them here last year and have since kept in touch. Last night we caught up over a barbeque and a few drinks. It was good to share our thoughts of various sites we have stayed on and chat about football. They are full of anticipation for the new season as their team, Norwich City, returns to the Premier League.

A Jaunt Through Twigside Bottom
After my early morning stroll with the dogs it is time to check that all is okay with our fellow caravanners. This is not an arduous task, consisting mainly of chatting to make sure that everything is okay. During our travels we have found that CL owners have differing approaches. Some leave you to get on with it and frankly only seem interested in ensuring that you pay, whilst others impart local knowledge and information and are attentive without being intrusive.
We know from staying on Cholsey Grange that Ted and Jackie fall into the second group. Always available if you need some advice, visible on the site everyday but also leaving folk to get on and enjoy themselves. To supplement their knowledge there is a bag full of information that makes its way from van to van. The system works well.
