Hampstead Heath Patch list for 2008

This list is maintained by Reuben Braddock. This is my first year keeping a list for the Heath. I have very tight time constraints so only likely to be able to visit once a week for an hour (or two if I can). Due to this, most of my efforts will be focused on the part of the Heath nearest to my house, i.e. Highgate Ponds and Parliament Hill fields.
