Setting off through the streets of Wotton…
…past assorted houses
Soon we find a muddy path…
…where fine views begin to open up…
…which we enjoy in glorious winter sunshine
Negotiating stiles can be a slow process
so someone finds a quicker way!
Another stile, another muddy landing
Now the mud gets serious - keep moving!
It's actually firmer in the middle
Back onto a dry road and all is well
Kingswood: yes, a car went by earlier this morning
Kingswood: you have been warned
The stream is running well after all that rain
Winter trees ready for Spring
Our joint leaders, Ruth and Mike, are happy that the walk is working out as planned…
…and the promised primroses are there
The village of Wortley: waiting for the electric gate to close
Remember Snail Mail?
Garden ornamentation - natural
Garden ornamentation - stark!
Snowdrops and Honesty, honestly
Confirmed by informed scrutiny
Lovely landscape
Nind on the itinerary, and Nind it is…
…but not for long
…as we spy Wotton ahead
An awkward stile: no room to swing your leg and boot over!
And an awkward looking gate!
Are they coming?
And back through the Olde World architecture of Wotton…
… for lunch at the Royal Oak.
