Today's walk was a 5.7 mile circular walk from Fritham in the New Forest. We found two geo-caches successfully, one of which was in the middle of nowhere and we were a bit dubious about finding it but to our surprise we went more or less straight to it. We started off walking across the heathland where we came across a youngish female adder. I don't think she was dead keen on having her photo taken because as soon as I had I taken this over exposed little number she disappeared into the heather.

Latchmore Brook with a few fallen leaves at the dam.
We stopped for a bite to eat at a very convenient wooden seat dedicated to Eric Ashby MBE, 1918 to 2003, naturalist, pioneer wildlife film maker and president of the New Forest Badger Group.
A very comfortable chunky wooden seat carved with a badger and a fox, just right for ..........
dangling my feet off!
During our walk we came across a variety of fungi, here are some of the best.
I think this is an ink cap, but I have no idea what the previous two fungi are. I have looked at fungi books before but identifying them seems a nightmare as there are many similar species.
Colourful ferns.
