Ray meets us on his freshly manicured lawn
And we head off en masse to start our walk
Our leader claims that this house is haunted
Another telephone box library
A short stretch of road
Then a recently mown hay field
With bales of hay waiting to be taken to the farm
One of the many stiles
By a murky pond
The pigs are watching us
As we watch the pigs
A bit of insect repellent is called for
A motley crew
I really wanted to be a zebra
Must be wash day at the nearby stables
Making our way through horse paddocks
And another form of stile
A pause before
Heading to the canal
Where we stop for lunch
Then continue along the tow path
Serendipity steaming past
A sculpture on the canal path
And the waterway quite busy
A canal boat tied up and owners relaxing on the shore
Nice name for a boat
At Purton we cross over
Past the church
And up the only hill on the walk
With views back over the Severn
Continuing on we can see the wind turbine at Sharpness
Before a final struggle through a field of maize brings us back to the start
