Wonderful
November sunshine and blue skies on a midweek walk. Photos from Angela,
John and Mike. |

Ray briefs
the party of 25 at Hunters Hall, Kingscote. We are pleased to see
several new faces
(and of course the old faces too!) |
|
 |
|
We head
across the plateau towards the deeply incised valleys ... |
|
 |
|
.... where
we stop for views. Here we overlook Binley Farm Cottages. |
|
 |
|
The sun
highlights the contours of the land. |
|
 |
|
Down we go,
and up again into the beech woods. |
|
 |
|
Still plenty
of green leaves, probably due to the mild autumn. |
|
 |
|
Lovely
lighting ... |
|
 |
|
... and
fascinating fungi. |
|
 |
|
.A steep,
rather awkward, descent. |
|
 |
|
We head
towards Horsley ... |
|
 |
|
... and pass
the spindleberries to have a drinks stop on the football field |
|
 |
|
What a
sight. |
|
 |
|
The solid
tower of Horsley Church. |
|
 |
|
After a
steep climb we look back to the panorama of the village. Can you spot
the church? |
|
 |
|
Onwards and
upwards past the old trees. |
|
 |
|
Friendly
cattle, not fazed by 25 people! |
|
 |
|
Ray takes
great care of his party, making sure we overcome all difficulties! |
|
 |
|
Wow! What
amazing colours! |
|
 |
|
Can we come
too? |
|
 |
|
No, we're
heading back across the plateau towards the pub, where many of us have
our lunch. |
