Now well under the rhodie, and covered by nettles and brambles. Pity I was in shorts and short-sleeves.

Easily found due to the vegetation clearance as the FBM had only recently visited by the previous logger.

2nd of the 'Wasdale 3'. Easy spot under the rhododendron bush in front of the wall as described below. Cleared some greenery away from it.

Followed the instructions from the roadsign, and found the bracken was well trambled (presumably a recent visitor), and there was the FBM, just under the edge of the rhodendren. More straightforward than I thought it would be.

This FBM was a devil to find-the grid refs for this site were not convincing.The following clues should help.The FBM is not on private ground but set fairly well back from the small road amongst dense undergrowth.To help further approach uphill from the 12%road sign for 24 paces and you should find it on the right hand side of the roadabout 3-4 metres towards the wall-GOOD LUCK!!
