Dave, you are the ‘Jack Hargreaves’ of the New Forest. We always watched Jack and his gentle country lore tales and views. You have the gentle, lilting, pace of Jack, even sounding a little like him. Love your walks and stories with Logan. Takes me deeper into the Forest that I continue to love, all the way from Ballarat, reminding me of living there 1955 to 1991.
Thank you Dave and Lovely Logan! That was a great walk! We are on catch up on your wonderful walks over our morning coffee! They set us up for the new day! They are uplifting and we are sooo thankful for them!😊
Along with your gorgeous New Forest walks with Logan, and ‘Wheelersatlarge’ Mike and Julie Wheeler from Bournemouth cycling everywhere on RUclips, I relive cycling and walking in my favourite home counties. Thank you.
Beautiful!!! Piece of knowledge and beauty of new forest - thank you for sharing Lots of my walks starts in Brockenhurst now I have more to explore around town Thanks Dave Logan is just perfect companion 👍
Fascinating video Dave. I've heard it said that it was the consensus at the time that Brusher Mills had his hut burnt down by the authorities to prevent him exercising those squatters' rights.
Very much enjoyed. I have read about ‘Brusher Mills’ but did not realise that he had his home destroyed. Very sad. Lots of interesting facts that you covered. Looking forward to joining you on your next perambulation.
Lovely walk Dave, nice to remember the summer. Brusher Mills died in the sheds behind the Snake Catcher pub after a meal of cheese and pickles, so be warned !
Wonderful! Thank you for covering the Kiwis in St Nicholas’s grave yard. My good lady wife laid a wreath there for the Kiwis many years ago, on behalf of the legion. I believe there is a pub in Brockenhurst called “ the Snakecathcher.” Named after Harry Mills. Happy and safe New year to you and your side kick🇳🇿🇬🇧
tried to take a walk in ivy wood going along the river going straight from the car park entrance, but after climbing over a fallen tree blocking the little path, the path then went to the right, down a slope into the water...didnt attempt to go on via the grass incase it was too muddy and slippery as not got the best balance and with certain health issues couldnt risk falling in the middle of nowhere and getting stuck in mud unable to get up, but im confused as online shows a nice walking route with bridges. your vid (ive only watched the early bit of the walk there from the end of the house, doesnt look anything like the route from the car park. confused as to how to get on the route shown online in pics
There is a map of the route that I took at about 36 secs in to the video. I did my walk clockwise, leaving the car park, crossing the road Eastwards & heading in to Perrywood Ivy Inclosure (at 8 mins 29 secs into the video). The route eventually comes back around Round Hill and follows well defined paths to the East of the Lymington River, back to the car park .Hope that helps.

Thanks David. I was always a great fan of Jack Hargreaves when I was growing up & just loved his programmes on TV.
Thank you Dave and Lovely Logan!
That was a great walk! We are on catch up on your wonderful walks over our morning coffee!
They set us up for the new day! They are uplifting and we are sooo thankful for them!😊
Another lovely walk thank you Dave. I will take my hubby in the springtime to see this area of my childhood, and the bluebells of course!
Thanks Louise. That spot along the Lymington River is spectacular when the bluebells are out. Looking forward to Spring already!
Thank you Dave! You have such a lovely manner as you explain the interesting history. Will try this walk sometime.
Thanks Elizabeth. It is a lovely part of the New Forest around there. Thank you for watching.
Enjoyed the video. Visit the New Forest often so will definitely try this one. Lots of useful information gratefully received. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video Karen. Thank you for watching.

Thank you.
Glad that your are enjoying the series David. Thanks for watching.
Another super walk I look forward to exploring when safe to do so.
Thank you Nigel. All we can do is hope that travel restrictions will be relaxed a little when things improve.
Definitely going to do this one in the spring (lockdown permitting), to see the bluebells! Charming walk as always Dave and Logan, thank you.
Thanks Ian. Hope that the travel restrictions will ease soon.
Beautiful!!! Piece of knowledge and beauty of new forest - thank you for sharing

Logan is just perfect companion 👍
Thanks for your kind comments Renata and indeed thank you for watching.
@@DaveFord its just perfect
Your knowledge and research
Stunning views
Master editing
Hats off
Very enjoyable Dave, another worthy of following in the future. Interesting piece about Brusher Mills
Thanks Rocky. Mr Mills sounded like he would have been a fascinating chap to meet!
Fascinating video Dave. I've heard it said that it was the consensus at the time that Brusher Mills had his hut burnt down by the authorities to prevent him exercising those squatters' rights.
Ah yes, that would make sense John.
That was a lovely walk. It’s so easy to watch you Dave. Makes me want to go for a good walk... roll on the summer.
Thanks Marc. :)
Lovely video Dave. Although I thought I knew Brockenhurst, you lost me on your walk. Very pretty by the stream and the church was interesting.
Thanks Lionel. I certainly will be going back there for the display of bluebells.
Camped with our caravan and two whippets in Hollands Wood several times when we lived in Abingdon.
A great place to camp & explore the Forest for sure. Whippets are simply the best!
Really great video! I may try and squeeze this walk in this week coming. Thank you
Thanks Robert. :)
@@DaveFord did this walk today it was great, thank you so much. We also popped to the church too.
@@robertgreenaway5166 Glad you enjoyed it ... you certainly had good weather!
Very much enjoyed. I have read about ‘Brusher Mills’ but did not realise that he had his home destroyed. Very sad. Lots of interesting facts that you covered. Looking forward to joining you on your next perambulation.
Many thanks. Yes - a very sad end for "Brusher Mills".... very much a local character!
Lovely walk Dave and Logan. Thank you.
Cheers Robert. Thanks for watching.
It looks wonderful. The little church is very charming. So much interest in this video. All the best to you and Logan.
Cheers. I enjoyed filming at that church - it was very atmospheric with the old Yew next to it. Thanks again for watching.
Lovely walk Dave, nice to remember the summer. Brusher Mills died in the sheds behind the Snake Catcher pub after a meal of cheese and pickles, so be warned !
Cheers Peter..... and thanks for the warning (I will stick to the Ringwood Best)!
Wonderful! Thank you for covering the Kiwis in St Nicholas’s grave yard. My good lady wife laid a wreath there for the Kiwis many years ago, on behalf of the legion.
I believe there is a pub in Brockenhurst called “ the Snakecathcher.” Named after Harry Mills.

Thank you. Yes indeed...I have visited The Snakecatcher pub on a number of occasions.
