Ashdown Forest - Mac Industries


This sign told us all we needed to know before setting off on the 'Winnie the Pooh walk'	McCarthy printed off a map from the internet, but is soon having trouble deciphering it

Neil Kane admires the view over the Weald (the landscape, not the pub) in the background	And he is soon hugging what is described by the map as 'the lonely pine'

McCarthy is caught in the Heffalump trap	This was a memorial to A.A.Milne and E.H.Shepard, the creators of Winnie the Pooh, who gave the magic of the Ashdown Forest to the world

Kane poses with the scenic background	While McCarthy mounts the memorial and pulls off the famous Bruce Forsyth pose

This bridge is where Roo fell into the river and learnt to swim, before being helped out by Pooh and Kanga using the North Pole!	Kane is delighted after seeing the river

This sign seemed pretty pointless, as horses cant actually read to know they have to keep right	McCarthy follows it to the right anyway, despite not being a horse, although it is fair to say he is a stallion

This photo had to be taken in order to disguise the fact that it was McCarthy and Kane who had been playing the loudest version of 'the rape game' on record......	As this dog walker would of heard all of it

This coach dropped off a load of foreigners, so we thought it best to leave the Winnie the Pooh trail, and head to the Llama farm	Kane is delighted to see this goat

And continues a fine goat petting tradition he has carried from Prague	McCarthy is soon involved, complete with yellow sticker on his forehead to denote he had paid to see the animals

We enter the Llamas enclosure	Kane enjoys petting one of these as well

McCarthy is delighted to be amongst animals	Kane goes for another one - and keeps the 100% record of only patting white llamas

This black one had been banished to the back of the shed	McCarthy enjoys another white llama

This one was better looking than some of McCarthys women, with New Years Eve particularly memorable	Understandably, the only all black llama was called Leroy

And Frostie, the only all white llama was the head member of the group. All was in order in Ashdown Forest	This fine racist tradition continued, with the black llama in this pen being called Sooty

This llama was not dissimilar to Rufus Brevet, and he was probably a better footballer	We manage to enter one of the llamas paddocks. Neil goes to eat some hay

While McCarthy drinks from the trough	The llamas round off a fine day in the Sussex country
