Dave meets us at Birdlip on the old road
Outside the school
And we set off
Past this isolated cottage
Heading South
Towards Climperwell
Francesca backmarking
A clear path
Through Climperwell Wood
A pause to regroup
Leaving all gates as we found them
On we go
Past campanulas
And settle down for a coffee break
All except Graham, who spots these flowers
We are watched by the locals
Who seem relieved to see us go
Finding ways to cross obstacles
And across some more open country
Down we go
What is going on there?
Huge earth moving
Graham points out a giant redwood tree
Imported from America many years ago
Keeping together
John wonders what they are up to
Past fuschias
Wonder if he is?
Back through Brimpsfield
No tat here!
More floral displays
Passing the church
And this tiny cottage
Last mile or so
We see another group ahead
Who are very keen to meet us but Patrick makes them wait
And we manage to escape!
And return on a short section of path which we followed at the start.
