Sun shining but wind blowing a gale in the car park of the Butchers Arms
We set off through Oakridge
Down Strawberry Banks
Into the woods and down into the valley
Where they keep bees
Along the valley to Valley Corner
Round past the old pub and back along the canal
Passing the old water board water works with its pump
Up under the railway
More work by Brunel
Continuing up the valley
Sun shining through the trees
Plenty of water in that stream
Pausing on Whitehall Bridge
Before heading up the side of Siccaridge Wood
Eventually turning off after getting lost
Some instructions to follow
A short stretch up the valley
Then up into Far Oakridge
An old field shelter
And an imposing house on the side of the hill
Then heading across fields
Back to Oakridge
Where we climb up through the village
Back to the pub
