Jill & Sue in charge. Jill to lead off
Looking across the valley to Oakridge
Today's snowdrop photo
Safely crossing a rather dangerous stretch of railway line
Sun shining down into the valley
Horses alert and ready to go
A little bit muddy down here
Now following the canal
Which stretches out behind us
Paths everywhere
As we head up the Sapperton Valley
The River Frome also keeping us company
Your guess is as good as mine
We reach the Daneway Portal
Pausing on top
Before heading uphill towards Sapperton
Looking across the valley
A long steady climb
Pausing as we reach the village
Before continuing along the street
Into a narrow lane
Garden peas? Yes. Garden eggs? Who is this Mrs Rock?
Coffee is taken on the village green
Then our path crosses fields
And into Hailey Wood
A long track disappearing into the distance
Muddy in places
Catkins
Kings Reach
And the other end of the old canal tunnel where we stop for lunch
The appropriately named Tunnel House Inn
Off we go again over an old stone slab stile
Through Tarlton
And across more fields
Imposing trees
This one has seen better days
Carefully picking our way round a waterlogged lane
Not much sign of a footpath but we are on the right track
That's what happens when you walk in front of the leader
Once more over the A417
The cars now in sight
