Sunglasses and shorts to the fore as Andrew waits in a layby on the A38
And we make our way through a farm
Before our first encounter with a field of maize
Which gets worse
before we fight our way out
At last we are out in an open field
Crossing a bridge into the nature reserve
A family of swans come out to welcome us
A bird hide off to our right
The path following a disused canal
And lined with Osier Trees
Coffee is a time for relaxing
Before we continue along the path
Lots of colour
Never miss a chance to sit down
A short road walk takes us over the river Chelt
And we catch a brief glimpse of the Severn
Before we take to the fields again
A bit of deep undergrowth to fight our way through
Looking back to the Wainlodes
In front a church
And to help us on our way the Ramblers have been busy
Not sure what is going on here - the end of the lunch break
Up a slight hill
Pausing at the top to take in the view
Once more over the Chelt
Once more over the Chelt
Leader Andrew helps us through an electric fence
Yet another field of maize to fight our way through
Teasels growing by the side of a stream
Finally we are back in the car park
