We had a good, brisk romp around a grey and misty Caesar’s Camp, Bracknell this morning.  It’s one of Hoover’s favourite local spots, which is located across the main road (B3095) from the previously mentioned Crowthorne Woods: the two spots being linked by an underpass.  I’ll tell you more about Caesar’s Camp another time, but if you can’t …
