Dogging Puts Horsell Back on the Map…
October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Linked with H.G. Wells’ ‘War of the Worlds’ and home to various species of ground nesting bee, Horsell has yet again gained national attention as a popular destination for ‘dogging’.
Popularity soared at many of the Horsell Common car parks after visitors found areas of the woods that weren’t covered in more than 2ft of solid dog faeces. Prior to the discovery it was believed the mathematical probability of walking in the common without getting turd on your toesies was around 0.07%.
Dogging is now a popular pastime amongst both young and old locals, as William Forrester explains:
“I’ve been dogging in Horsell Common for 2 years now… I started as more of an onlooker back when I was 72, but now I actively get involved whenever I can.”
The past-time has even inspired a short novel – ‘Wood in the Woods’ – to be published shortly.
