The Erme Valley trail - how enchanting. The river was well roaring as we headed north soon to be engulfed by the local walking for health group. Did make is wonder why we went out walking - left foot, right foot seemed to be the best answer. Up under the rebuilt viaduct and on to the soldiers' swimming pool. The soft rain arrived so time to shelter under a pine for a cuppa. Onwards and out onto the Harford Moor Gate road and along to Hall Cross where Hangershell could just be seen on the horizon. Hanger Down showed us the way with blue posts and to the enigmatic Hanger Down Clump. To Uppaton past some rather fine houses and across to Sherrell. Excellent late blackberries and watercress rather slowed progress. On to the drovers' road to Henlake and down rather hungrily and swiftly to the cars. To a most pleasant riverside cafe. All very new and very interesting.
