Connie takes to walking in the woods in Spring, and regularly meets with Mellors. Initially their meetings are uneasy affairs, although they are obviously attracted to each other. Mrs Bolton looks after Clifford more and more, and the latter comes into conflict with the striking miners at Tavershall, where he takes a hard line. Connie disagrees with his views and actions, and she and Mellors begin an affair, consumating it in the hut and in the woods. (thetvdb.com)
