Looking up Granny Weavings Lane
Standing in Tramway Road looking up Granny Weavings Lane (with Grindles Lane running to the left this side of the hedge). Granny Weavings Lane gets steeper yet and at the top forms the link to the two, otherwise disconnected, portions of Bucskhaft Road ... one of the few roads that is metalled, becomes a hand-railed footpath and then re-invents itself as a rough tarmac/gravel single track road.
You will see that it is 'No Cycling' down this somewhat steep footpath.

Shakemantle Quarry
Originally an ironstone mine, Shakemantle continued as a stone quarry up until the 1960s. The rock face seen here is used by climbers and a web search throws up a number of climbing sites before anything on history.
This page from Gloucestershire County Council https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=3008&resourceID=108 is full of information, except about where the rather swashbuckling name came from.

Granny Weavings Lane - Ruspidge
Between the two power poles is the uphill unadopted footpath known as Granny Weavings Lane. It link Tramway at the bottom with Buckshaft about 150 yards higher up the slope. Somewhat uniquely the footpath cuts into Buckshaft (which is shaped like a horizontal Z) and replaces the road surface with this one and a half metre wide hand-railed footpath. You cannot drive from one end of Buckshaft to the other because of the 'footpath' section in the middle !

Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus), Ruspidge, Forest of Dean
As you can see from the photograph, the Gatekeeper butterfly has an interesting type of eye. Each ocellus (simple eye) has two pupils one pointing upwards and the other down. These butterflies are quite common in the Forest and like brambles and bushes which are separated from each other by 3 or 4 metres or so.
