What a change from recent wet weather
Reflecting on a still morning
Ray leads us off
Passing "The Pub"
Good job we are not thirsty!
Very wide views
Over the mud flats
The Purton Hulks, with names of the boats beached here to stop erosion
We follow the towpath
We see the remains of the old railway bridge
And read about the collision of the two oil tankers
A zoomed-in shot of the scant remains of the other tower on the Forest of Dean side
The tide is sneaking in
Gwen tries to blend in with the capstan
Ray our leader is in red so we shan't lose him.
On our return some of us go through the reeds
to see the Hulks
In various states...
... of repair
Some of us roll coins to ring the bell, which raises funds for the Willow Trust
A great walk on a beautiful morning
