Glover's Wood Charlwood - Sea Harriers & Sea Kings....

Post by xkekeith » Sun Aug 30, 2020 3:27 pm

As it stopped raining I took the dog for a walk to the Woodland Trust at Glover's Wood, the entrance foot path runs along side the ASL site at Charlwood so I took the camera as well.

The entrance, the path uses the pedestrian gate on the left and runs along side the green hangar type building, dogs on leads.

First on your left the Sea Harriers with three Sea Kings behind in a row:

A few yards further on and some more Sea Kings appear:

For some reason I always thought that gate led to a private residence? I'm sure it used to have signed up to that effect!

The private residence is on the right and the public footpath is on the left. The sign on the tree refers to the private drive, so no vehicle access. Lots of walkers using the path this morning.

Great shots Keith :thumbs: That place looks a real 'yard' with a difference and some real interesting frames.

Thanks for posting
