Just a note to say them Dockey wood bluebells and other woods in Ashridge estate are at its best. I was there yesterday. By the way the cafe/restaurant at Berkhampstead called 'I love food' is close for a few months for renovation as I discovered yesterday. Might join your guys tomorrow.

2 walkers spotted my late posting and joined me on today's bluebell extravaganza, so that is n=3.
The weather was w=sunny-spells-in-the-morning-a-few-light-showers-later.
As per Monica's report, the bluebells in Dockey Wood and Flat Isley were stunning, with many more displays elsewhere in the Ashridge Estate.
In the morning the meadow below the ascent to Ivinghoe Beacon was a mass of dandylions and cowslips - yellow to offset bluebell blue.
2 of us dined at the Bridgewater Arms and although we had a longish wait for our food to arrive, when it did it was good, honest pub grub - just what the doctor ordered to sustain us on our afternoon leg. We caught up with our sandwich colleague as we left the Ashridge Estate, and all three of us enjoyed the Berkhamsted leg now in intermittent light drizzle.
We enjoyed good travel both ways on our lovely day out: it is always a treat to fit in this bluebell classic during bluebell season.
