ROLL over Woodstock, tell Dalby Forest the news.

North Yorkshire now has its own mini-Woodstock, with concerts in the forest clearing becoming a tradition. This weekend saw Jools Holland and Status Quo playing in the woods, with a record turn-out during the two days.

Some of the money raised by the concerts goes into forestry conservation. So fans who go down to the woods to hear a big noise are helping those who prefer to go when it is quieter.

Rock fans could well be moved to return when the woods are given over to bluebells rather than decibels.
