Nice Pics Dave
Which bit is Back Lane? Is it straight on the path through the car park with the trees on your left? Brill pics. Got an hour free tomorrow and you are tempting me away from NCD's Buzzards.
Hi Muxy. Best way is go up to the top high level car park at Ogden,walk up the 'sleeper' steps, over the stile and walk diagonally right across two small fields. When you get to the gates and small pond along a track go through the small stile (horse field). Half way along this grass path view the spruce trees in front of you. If they are there they are usually right in the tops of the spruce. They make plenty of noise especially when flying over. Good luck.
Thanks
