The dark depths of Sherwood Forest was the eerie setting for a manhunt that gripped Britain. It was the hiding place chosen by killer Robert Boyer and the setting for BBC drama Sherwood.
The Daily Mirror can reveal the woodland was also the place where Boyer test ran his evil plot three months earlier - and how he came up with a bizarre plan with a £10 note to make sure his Robin-Hood style forest hideaway would not be found.
He also made sure the den deep in the forest was stocked up on enough tins of food and water to survive on after the killing.
