Heads up | macro

Macro photography became my hobby many many moons ago

This is a picture of Spud Wood, home of most of my finds though not all, I do walk around Lymm Dam, Rixton clay pits even the Woolston eye...

Holidays are no excuse to leave my macro kit at home & so some of the images will be from far and wide, but the majority will be UK !

So where on earth is Spud Wood, there are very few houses along Stage Lane so the entrance & car park is between post codes

WA13 9JP & WA13 9HZ

It's in Lymm, (my home town/village) Cheshire...

Lymm itself is a very picturesque quiet (ish) place and to see more here is my Flickr site with several references to Lymm, & plenty of pictures...

Hope you enjoy & thnx for looking

Entrance 1 - Stage Lane with small car park

Entrance 2 - Near Dog Bridge on Oughtrington Lane, no where to park

Entrance 3 - Near Burford Lane underbridge, couple of parking spots on Warrington lane

Entrance 4 - There is a public footpath that goes through Helsdale wood, and a path from there into spud wood, again no parking near either of these

A big THANK YOU must go out to a guy called Graham Calow, without whose help I wouldn't know any of the names on here...
