A blue reflector on the tree. One on the ground. Part of the lid was found, but nothing else.

This is really nice in dry weather. A very narrow path through the heather. Stop and notice how thin/high the dark patch of ground is, with sand underneath. Then you realize how resilient the heather must be to survive here.

Since there is no bench, it is only suitable for a break in dry weather.

The landscape here is so beautifully rolling, which makes the view of the heath even more beautiful. Especially beautiful at the end of summer, when the heath turns purple.
