Its next to no distance, in the car its probably about 15 minute drive depending on where in Twickenham you are? The train from Twickenham involves getting a bus once you get to Feltham (about 10 minutes on train then 10 minutes on bus). The bus stops directly outside one of the two park entrances.

Well it's not a case of not wanting to , I'd be like a kid a sweet shop . Just traveling, circumstances, and stamina too LOL.

I'm lucky, I live about a mile and a half from Bedfont Lakes. Is it now maintained by Laings? If it is, perhaps you could advise them on the most wildlife friendly ways to approach maintaining the other open spaces in the LB of Hounslow. They cetainly don't have much of a clue at the moment, cutting the grass so often that the flowering plants don't have a chance to bloom and putting our already beleagured beens and butterflies under greater threat. They also seem to have a policy of cutting right back to the edges of fields leaving no buffer zone for the wildlife. I wish these people would understand that nature doesn't do tidy. Come back CIP - all is forgiven
