Another walk

Red currants
Started the day with red currants from the manor garden.  Delicious.

Today we did about 6 miles in a circle south west of Wellbrook Manor.  There's such an amazing selection of footpaths criss crossing this area that we just put a walk together from the map and hoped for the best! We had studied the contours closely, but we still ended up doing some strenuous uphill work.  At one point we forded a stream, then we ran into a bog trying to avoid heifers and disappeared into a dark green tunnel and now and again we went off course slightly, but in the end we completed the planned circuit.

The views from the tops of the rises were lovely.  Just rolling soft hills, farms and villages.
