I found the articles by Colin and Mary very interesting as we are of the same age. I am also fascinated with the stories about Gobions Woods, where the majority of my spare time was spent as a child.

I am so pleased that some one has preserved it, because it is truly a unique place. I have been fascinated to read about the history of the area, and now regret the damage I must have caused when we played some wild games there.
