Well that was a" stilish" walk, and by that I mean too many of them, wet, slippery, rotten and wobbly!
Are they really all necessary?Anyway through the slippery, Spidey woods, the Cowsic river raging just below until out on the track to Beardown farm, past the empty and very dark campsite and up to the rather smelly woods and past large smelly cows.
All's well and out to the moors, a track was chosen and followed.
The dark seemed to get darker and there was a bit of confusion as to which direction we needed. As you know I only like "Down"!
A bit of toing and froing we found the desired gate, in the middle of a bog and from there the foot bridge over the leat.
Following the path, very reasonable condition considering past weather conditions.
This is another path that seems interminable until reaching woodland above Crockern cottage.
Finally out on the track past the farm, deciding to "trespass" on their very potholed driveway and back to the cars.
Two Bridges Hotel in total darkness, both entrances barriered off, no geese to be seen.
So, one shut, two to go, on to the Plume, also shut. On to the Prince, always open, No also shut!!
There's definitely something wrong with the country if all the pubs are closed. HELP !!
