[Closed] Bluebells 2017 - Official Thread 😉

Too many trees in the way to get all of them in but the forest in Machen was carpeted with them!

Can't be long left for them now. Leave cover is filling out as Spring wears on.

They're really starting to show in decent numbers all around Castle Combe, should be coming into their best over West Woods by the bank holiday weekend.

Flower is v dependent on site. I went looking, but it wasn't until I reached the south facing slope that they were out in number. That was under beach and oak, so 3 more weeks at least in that wood.

Odd one out:

Local woods a few minutes away (West Berkshire, nr. Ridgeway). Unbelievable amount of Bluebells for miles. It's sat fairly remotely in a field with no vehicle access so I never see a soul. Nice and peaceful up there.

Favourite time of the year to ride/walk. Some great photos in this thread

We had pretty much peak bluebell day in the Forest of Dean last week. Wrote a thing with some pics: http://pickled-hedgehog.com/?p=3861

Great pix, as always this year.

They have all passed over here in South Glos.

See you all next year in the 2018 Bluebell thread.

Still...keep them coming if you got them for 2017.
