The Patrol extends along Youngmans Road from the junction with Barnham Broom Road up to Wood Farm vets, which is the main destination for traffic until 18:45 when it closes.
Click to enlarge imageWe believe that the toads are trying to get to the breeding pond marked with the blue P on the pic. The toads will find it hard to cross the steep sided ditch and bramble hedge along the south side of the road so we put the toads at the nearest release point marked with an orange R. Toads found to the west of the where the road bends (at the first cottage) can be placed on the grass just at the start of the driveway to the Paddocks (don't go far up the drive!). Toads found at the eastern end of the road can be placed through the wire fence near to the vets and pointed towards the pond. Toads going home can be placed in the nearest field entrance to where they are found.
We have permission to use the Centre Paws car park. As you come from Tuttles lane take the entrance just before Youngmans Road (marked in red on the map). Park and go through the gate towards the café - with the duckpond on your right. Walk in front of the café and the between the farm house and the camp site to come out on Youngmans Road half way along the patrol route (marked in yellow). Please respect the privacy of the owners and any campers.
