Cor took Hiroko, Charlie and I to Sherwood Forest today to see The
Major Oak, which is over 1000 years old and lived during the time of
Robin Hood! It was an amazing tree! We met some elderly people walking
in the forest who said they used to play inside this venerable old
tree when they were kids. It was a great story standing around an oak
tree that has been living since King Richard the Lionhearted.
If you enlarge the second photo you can read a bit about this ancient
tree. The forest also had many other ancient oak trees as well but
this is the most famous.
We continued to walk around the forest and picked up two geocaches
before heading back to the Visitor Centre for some biscuits and tea
(and coffee).
It was a grand day with wonderful new friends.
