Rævebakken is a larger hill with an associated recreational area with small streams and gravel paths, a larger forest area and a cozy fishing lake.
The area is landscaped with running and riding trails and has a smaller Crossfit track.
Rævebakken is located right next to Greve Sports Centre and is often used by dog walkers, exercisers and riders.
Rævebakken was established from surplus soil from the new buildings that was established in the 1960s in Greve, including the social housing Gersagerparken.
Alongside the month-long diversion by Thorneywood Mount, for 2 weeks, the 39 was diverted via Forester Road and Foxhill Road due to more roadworks on Morley Road.
208 was seen on Foxhill Road whilst on the 39 towards Nottingham.
The 10 1/4" gauge Farnborough Miniature Railway (known as the Foxhilll Miniature Railway for the first few weeks) only operated for two years - 1936 and 1937. The half-mile line was built by local engineer H.C.S. Bullock mostly as a test track where he could demonstrate his locomotives to potential customers. Shortly after opening a partnership was formed with wealthy London banker Alexander Kinloch and the railway became more commercialised in operation.
Bullock left the railway at the end of the first season due to a disagreement and took a couple of his locos with him - the following year he built a railway at California-in-England near Wokingham.
Kinloch continued alone and for 1938 he extended the track to give a 1.5 mile round trip. However it was never a huge commercial success and he began planning a new and much more ambitious railway nearby - The Surrey Border & Camberley. At the start of 1938 all the equipment was moved the short distance to its new home.
Where was it located? It's hard to say exactly as the whole area is now extensively developed and built over - the M3 motorway even crosses the old route! From available evidence and guess work it seems to have started somewhere near the intersection of Beech Rd and Sand Hill. It then headed off in a NW direction, crossing the Cove Brook river and terminating somewhere near to the Fox Inn Pub on Chapel Lane. Passengers could apparently walk through the hedge and get drinks at the pub in between trains!

We used to call this the wild woods (pre-Google days, no idea what it was called) and would take the kids for a walk through it. It's actually Fox Hill and it's been rediscovered during lock down. It's nice when it's not busy (most of the time).
The old high seal window manufacturers building in Scunthorpe reflecting the surrounding area, it's made for for an interesting capture. Might go back at some stage to also try a star trail scene.
