Today's walk starts on the side of the road | |
And soon takes us up onto the moor | |
The locals seem friendly | |
Others watch us warily | |
We follow a stream downhill | |
Crossing at the bottom | |
And looking across the valley to a farmhouse with a church | |
In the distance we can also see Dunkery Beacon | |
As we continue across the moor | |
Then start to make our way into a secluded valley | |
The sun breaking through the canopy of trees to provide a stop for coffee | |
Impenetrable jungle to one side | |
And trees sprouting ferns | |
We continue downhill | |
On a well walked path | |
Trees growing at crazy angles | |
Hey, wait for me, too busy looking at trees | |
A farm gate provides a challenge to the ingenuity of some of our lady members | |
And this black calf showing he is not afraid of us | |
Another small valley to cross | |
Some mothers being kept busy | |
The view from our lunch spot | |
As we relax in the afternoon sun | |
We get ready to go | |
In the afternoon we have views across the moor to other narrow valleys | |
We continue uphill to the top of the moor | |
Where we spot some red deer | |
Before we head back to the cars down in the dip | |
Getting back to the hotel in time for some retail therapy - jeans and polo shirt by Rohan. |
