Searching for Robin Hood...

I've lived in Nottingham for almost a year now and when i moved here i didn't know much about the city but like many, i'd heard of Sherwood forest and now that the weather is finally getting better and worth being outside in, me and Sean took a trip out of the city in the middle of last month, during our exams and deadlines to get a break from the city.

This is Major Oak *insert HIMYM joke here*, i think the story is Robin Hood and his friend hung out here or something. Historially, lets just say the tree is super old! We went on a 4 or 5 hour walk after leaving the Sherwood forest visitor centre and just walked around the forest all day and it was so nice. Sean thinks we walked about 7 miles because we weren't exactly route marching and stopped for lunch as well, but it was just so lovely to be out of the city and in the quiet forest for most the day!

Sean, the tree whisperer.

I didn't take too many photos as i'm still yet to have a "proper" camera, i just use my iphone but it was a really nice day out and sooooo lovely to just get out of the city. I do love the city and when i moved out last year i thought i'd always prefer a city over the countryside but i've got to admit, i do like a good walk in forests still!
