Not a good day weatherwise but a strong turnout for Allen's walk
As we head off along the road
Before taking to a farm track
Then round the edge of a field
Weather-beaten but colourful
An old farmhouse typical of the area
Continuing on a grassy track
To the canal
The fishermen of England
Still on the canal
Past a bridge keeper's cottage
We leave the canal
On another farm track
Views across the valley
Long grass proving a bit damp
Some birds of prey prove a distraction
As they glower at us from their perches
Then we head off through some dense undergrowth
A thatched cottage
Reaching the banks of the Severn - an old barge beached on the other side
But what's this coming?
Yes, it's a mini Severn Bore
Which we stand and watch
Before continuing along the river
Until the tower of Longney Church tells us that we are nearly back to the start
Could have been meant for us
