That is good news - I remember signing last year I think - a while ago anyway - and I remember visiting and 'fungi-ing' there during sev past New Forest hols ....... in fact thinking back it was where a large long-legged tabby and white cat appeared out of the undergrowth and came for a walk with us! She was very friendly and rubbed and miowed all around me, then sat on my back as I was laid on the ground photographing some fungi or other!
