Skipping the Brook
This small brook ran parallel with the wood for most of its length.

We would dam up the stream and mess about in it with our wellies on. The place always reminded us of the Enid Blyton story of the Enchanted wood;

"Over the ditch we go - and into the Enchanted Wood"

The brook also acted as a barrier to any "evils" lurking in the wood. You were safe as long as you jumped back over it before 8 o'clock.
