Comments: | Mainly on field footpaths with a little road walking. There are countless footpaths in this area and it's just a matter of which ones to follow each time I walk round here. |
The footbridge can be difficult to find at this time of year - you just need to know where to look
The warning looks pretty serious . . .
but the stile is clear of any wires . . .
so perhaps it's to keep the horses in rather than us out
The nearby crop looks very healthy
The next double stile is rather dilapidated
The footpath hasn't been walked much since the grass has grown
The arrow points straight on . . .
but I've been here before and know the stile is behind the gate . . .
now very overgrown
The cows decide to follow me . . .
but I'm on the opposite side of the gate
