A morning walk at Woolmer Pond, near Greatham, Hampshire

Leaders: Mike Lawn and Andy Swan (HNHS members)
In addition to the Pond itself the area’s habitats include valley, mire, and heath, each contributing to an exceptional flora and fauna. It is the only site with all 12 of the UK’s native reptile and amphibian species and is also excellent for insects. Total walking distance about 3km, Wellington boots recommended unless particularly dry.
Directions: Parking at above grid reference (just off roundabout on the A325) is limited; alternative parking will be recommended depending on numbers.
As this is a MoD site access is only permitted when firing ranges are not in use. The date should be clear but this could change at short notice. Essential to book a place with Society’s Secretary by email by August 23rd giving your contact details, so that any changes can be advised. (If necessary a nearby alternative venue will be arranged.)
