Morven Park by padlock

Morven Park

Taken today as I was shown around by the Community Ranger of this little oasis just on the edge of Potters Bar. Why was he there, simple reason I have volunteered as a Countryside Volunteer to help here as it is so local. Start on Tuesday for my first day and really looking forward to it. Plenty to do with hedges, fences etc all in need of repair. Will fill you in as I see and learn more.
Found it, nice.

love those old trees !
is that near the Old police station by the traffic lights ?

@philcameron59 You got it, hard to park but it stretches quite away from both the roads. Some lovely old trees but boots needed as it is very wet at the moment.

Good on you! I'm sure you will find it very fulfilling.

An excellent form of volunteering. Getting out into the countryside, helping maintain it with plenty of exercise. Can't think of anything much better than that to keep you going.

Great job padlock...doing your bit for your area is wonderful. It will get you out & about & hopefully some photo ops too! Looks a great piece of green space.

Great shot! Love the ominous sky! My dad does something similar at an historical site near his house! He loves it...89 and still tending to the ferns!!

What a beautiful spot....lovely color. Love the light a sky! Kudos to you for doing your part by "giving back". Might be much more fun in the spring and summer and fall...isn't it still cold there?

Lovely shot, fantastic light too
January 10th, 2014  
That sounds fun - lovely light in this shot! (By the way, don't think we're going to the ice thing till Sunday now my older one wants to come too and he's busy on Saturday - I'll text you anyway in case you don't see this)

@taz_o Hi Tamzin, Thanks for that. I had an appointment in London this morning so went to it this afternoon. Wrap up warm, was well sign posted and have to say wasn't impressed overall. Will post my photo's later. Everybody i spoke to said that Sunday was the best day-not much help to the people that were there today!!!
January 10th, 2014  
@taz_o Meant to say was not well signposted!!!!! Losing it I am afraid.
January 10th, 2014  
@padlock I'll look out for your photos!
January 10th, 2014  
Looks a great place to work, particularly on a sunny day - and so many photo opps! Look forward to seeing more as you explore :)
January 10th, 2014  
Good for you. That sounds like a very worthwhile activity.
January 11th, 2014
