After the threat of manky weather yesterday evening and the fact it turned out rather nice. I decided a night off was in order and a drive out to some local woods for a walk.
These woods surround the old USAF Chicksands base in Bedfordshire, it is also slowly being cut down and destroyed (Centre Parcs here they come).
So park the car, not a care in the world, youngun climbing trees and having a good time.
Wandering back to the car on this lovely light night at 7:30pm (not really late) . SHOCK, there is my car, lonesome in the car park and the barrier padlocked shut! Imspecting the gate and lock I notice the bit of paper hanging on the gate witht he words scrawled 'LOCKED AT 7PM'.
Sheer panic by littleun and the missus.
A little moving of tree stumps and brambles and 30 minutes later we were free!.
Woods locked up at 7pm on a summers night....must be Britain!
Next time I will stay in and check my stats
