I won't boar you with the details but ...

After many years and multiple trips to the Forest of Dean Martin Bevan, Martin Bell and myself finally came across some wild boar this morning.
Parking at the Crabtree Hill car park we walked back down towards Speech House where we met a local woman who told us that in the morning the car park at the other side of Speech House would probable be better for the boar. We thanked her and walked over there but there were no boar present. A car then pulled into the car park and the same woman wound her window down and told us that the boar were next to my car !!!. Where have I heard that before. She then offered us a lift as long as we took our wellies off. Needless to say our footwear came off very quickly and soon 5 boar were in sight and photographed. A very big thank you to the lady.
