We three gentle ladies thought we were going on a gentle walk through the woods around Morwellham.
It started well as these thing do. Up to the Rock, nice views over Gunnislake and Delaware. Then along the AONB cycle track to the Tavistock Canal Tunnel Portal. The track narrower than before, vegetation closing in. Then over the road past the reservoir, fine!
Then things started to get a bit brambley. Haven’t been along here for a while but it’ll be fine, just a few fallen trees to negotiate. Brenda had a bit of trouble with her little legs, over and under. Then another tree down. That wasn’t here last time I came this way, over ok but where was the path? Under branches, through vegetation. OK we’ll take that old track up to the big main track. Not far, just a few brambles and nettles. Another tree down, up a slippery cliff. Brenda in survival mode now, no shouting or screaming - quiet - Scary! Then there was the track just a 6ft jump down. I told them we were nearly there.
Then we met a man sitting on a fence. An easy walk back along the railway track. Quite dark now. Anyway the Pub was still open so a beer and a friendly dog to make a fuss of.
All was well.
We did ok for old biddies and we had a little adventure. The wounds are healing nicely thank you.
