Very, very nice!!

Are those 'raised ridges' with hedges on top a landmark (sorry) of the bocage?

They seem just perfect for breaking up even a quite small playing area (like 2'x2').
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

In fact Bocage means box fields, regardless of the height of the hedgerows. But quite often, the roads and paths between the fields have been eroded by the farmers, the cattle, the carts creating sunken roads.

I think that I'll make a second batch of lower hedgerows.

I added some gates from BAM to enhance the hedgerows.
