Rinky Dink still going strong as is Bruno
Who leads us off on a repeat of the first walk he lead for S. Cots in 2002
Fields of long grass testing our waterproofs
At least he has come over for a chat
Walking through Hyde Park Farm
Rather a puddle in our way
We head uphill to avoid more water and mud
Then down through the woods
Over Cowcombe Hill
And down a steep path
Over the railway
And down to Valley Corner and Bruno's old house, once a pub
Along the canal
Viaduct by Brunel
A sort of goose
Leaving the canal
We head uphill
Following the contours
Then more woods
Then fields of orchids
Down to Trillis
Along a quiet road
Lunch on Whitehall Bridge
Then through Siccaridge Woods to Daneway Banks
More orchids
The sign we have all been waiting for
Looks quite smart
Our path takes us through Sapperton Woods
Good for a fry up?
Back along the canal
Over a precipitious bridge
Through Westleigh Farm where we are seen off the property
Past one of the holiday cottages
Back to the car park.
See Bruno walking here in 2002
