Parked on Belfairs Park Drive. Up to wood and a bit of a mooch round for likely candidates gor top.Bramley17/11/2017
Another one that was much more difficult than it should have been. I tried it earlier in the day but got thwarted by road works. Returned at tea time to find the Fairways road closed due to gas main repair. Parked up and walked the last 600 meters to end up standing on a mound of earth looking into someone's back garden. Must have looked very suspicious.Father Ted02/09/2016
Roadworks on The Fairway made for a longer than usual drive around but left a short amble to bag this top and had a look in the woods for good measure.Dugswell201/09/2016
