Setley, Calveslease Copse & Lymington River loop — New Forest National Park

Bad luck at first: Half of the few spaces in the parking lot were occupied by free-roaming horses (you see them really everywhere in the national park). So I went wild and took pictures right away. Unfortunately in the komoot app, which wasn't running yet - none of the photos from very close to the horse were saved 😭 For this I add 2 photos here that were taken on the way back out of the car: a group 🐎 had sought protection from the sun under the car bridge. A foal slept right against the wall, the "adults" shielded it with their bodies. The motorists carefully drove around the small herd. It's nothing unusual here, but it's great for us. The hike through the pleasantly shady forest was relaxed and without major highlights. Only met a handful of people again.
