Bushar Survey

4XSeptember 2021 by Strider

Route description

This is an edited version of Bushar 1. The reason for the edit was the use of a vandalised fence being used as an entrance/exit to Merry Hill area. The fence hole may be repaired and using it may be illegal. The alternative route goes through Mutton Wood which is popular with hikers and dog walkers but can be challenging due to roots, narrowness and a deep gully. Very muddy when wet..
