BRENEY COMMON & BISSOE VALLEY.

WE HAVE BEEN OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES OVER 

THE WEEKEND, MOSTLY TO BISSOE VALLEY BUT 

ALSO TO BRENEY COMMON FOR BLACK DARTER.

THIS USE TO BE THE MOST RELIABLE SPOT FOR 

THEM BUT THEY ARE NOW FEW AND FAR BETWEEN 

SINCE ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE THERE. 

WE ONLY FOUND 1 AFTER SEVERAL HOURS 

OF SEARCHING, SUCH A SHAME.
