Tilgate Park : My Actifit Report Card: July 28 2024

After two relatively restful days, including a slight mishap yesterday, I had some chores to be done.

After I had completed the tasks, we had a nice family gathering for the afternoon. I was constantly looking out of the window at the lovely weather, wishing I could be out there on my mountain bike.

Well, later, when our gathering was finished, I still had enough time for a ride!

I set out quickly, but I had plenty of time before sunset, and I chose to keep it shortish today. Heading for the Tilgate forest trails.

Conditions were good, very dry, except for the most sheltered and low lying regions where there were a few sticky patches.

I came across what looked like a wigwam made from fir tree branches and sticks. Someone had put up a notice near it, as you can see in my picture.

The route today is confined to Tilgate forest, but it is a large area and has many possible routes to choose from. When I began cycling I used to come here a lot more.

I stopped at the main lake as I usually do. Being Sunday means lots of people walking and sitting around. Today was quite busy. Too busy to ride around the lake path so I was glad that I kept to the outback parts of the forest.

The council decided to allocate part of the woods to a nature group, fencing it off. As you can see part of the fence has been destroyed as it bisected a popular path!

It was lovely out there with nature. The next couple of shots looking both ways, show the scenery.
