Log Text: This turned into a major expedition! I was in the area so decided to try and find the spring. I parked at the intersection with Clawson lane opposite the entrance to Fox Holes wood and the public footpath sign. A couple of dogwalkers advised me to walk the shorter way, around the west side of the wood. The track is slippy and overgrown and you can see the stream running below in the overgrown valley. The path then reaches a very steep incline with mature trees and I was sure I was close- but no spring visible. At the top of the incline I arrived at a ploughed field and walked along the parish boundary to the NE corner of the field. Still no sign of the spring so I decided to turn back & then looked at various other places on the edge of the steep valley, but there was no way down to the stream below. Once back at the car I saw the dog walkers again. They told me that I'd turned around just before reaching the spring! It's apparently a bit further NE, down the slope of the next field. I shall revisit another time..
