This is a nice varied walk with some open fields, some woodland and the benefit of some good stretches of water. It is also relatively flat although there are quite a few styles.
There was a large herd of cows in the field approaching Midgham Long Copse. Clive and Ray were bold Rob and Peter decided on caution and diverted. Happily there were no incidents.
It was quite a windy day - you can spot this from the way the barley was blowing around - and it was fairly cloudy but an ideal temperature for walking. A really good day out followed by a really good value lunch at the Bat and Ball. How lucky is that?
