Gill from Wood Workouts can help you find the stick that you will treasure and use for years to come.

Recently I've bought a beautiful, unique, cheeseboard with a deer antler handled cheese knife and a stunning necklace and jewellery stand made from a New Forest discarded deer antler - for my Mum. She thought it was wonderful!

There are lots of toys, fishing tools, games etc. to choose from and Gills quality of workmanship is really excellent.

I did say my site was based on my personal recommendations so I can certainly recommend you make a purchase.

Perhaps you would like to use WikiMapia to look at more detail of the New Forest? If you use this map you can find exactly the area of your chosen walk and what the nearby villages look like ...before you book! Give it a go.....
