NUN WOOD, LAVENDON :
The party
went looking for the grounded coach body in this location, but some confusion
with the sat-nav (meant that we were not sure we were actually on the right
road), however in speaking to a local chap he told us that we were in the
correct area and the body was back the road in the woods, but that owner was not
too keen on people being on his land (even though he wasn't there). The chap
took the contact details of the events secretary and he said he would pass our
request to visit onto the owner.
