called in at Middlewood

I called in at Middlewood today to see some friends who were camping out, the meet was organised through Bushcraft UK. There was quite a good turn out, I couldn't stay as I am on call all week so it was a flying visit.
I went for a walk through the woods and managed to take a few photos.

This old Sweet Chestnut was very big at the base and very impressive.



A couple from one of the camps.





And a Birch Polypore growing on a fallen branch.


It was good to catch up with friends but a shame I couldn't stop longer.
