| Time: | 2 hours | ||
| Weather: | Cold with sunny spells | ||
| Comments: | A mixture of fields, footpaths and roads for a local early morning walk | ||

Originally a narrow track, the footpath is now tree-lined (or will be in a few years!)

The footbridge carries the walker . . .

over a small brook . . .

but fallen trees block the flow of water on the opposite side

The sun highlights the trees . . .
