Slowhands is absolutely correct suggesting East Slade in the early days such as this when there were numerous gales throughout the Forest, but it's worth remembering that certainly in more recent times it was fairly common for colliers to walk several miles to work each shift. My friend's father walked 5miles to & fro work everyday as a lad in the 1950s. This may explain why as a retired elderly man he liked nothing more than a "stroll" thro the Forest; except that he could walk very quickly for several miles !
Looking at the PRs I see 1841 was a disastrous year for the Roberts of Drybrook, very sad indeed.
