​Lambs Green Inn  ★★

A Green Building
We headed off along what I assume were the old airfield taxi ways or runways full of the confidence provided by the solid concrete below our feet.
After a short while we came across a rather elegant new grain storage facility at the place on the map shown as West Building.  As the picture shows it was a lovely bright and sunny day albeit a bit on the chilly side with frost on the grass to left and right. 
We were soon greeted by the fine buildings at Hemsworth where we also found notices regarding a request to re- route the footpath.  As we took to the grassy tracks starting at Birch Coppice we found that we had been joined by a dog that thought we would be good companions for the rest of the day.  ​

 Luckily the long morning break we had at Manswood showed that we were not as energetic as we seemed at first sight and the dog left us to wander into Cheterwood on our own.  The ground was pretty good here with the frost helping to keep it fairly firm underfoot.  

As we left Hogstock Coppice, on our right,  we saw a magnificent bull in the field.  So magnificent that we decided to walk around the field instead of taking the path across to Rose Cottage.  There's usually a lot of bull on our walks but this was exceptionall!

Loads of Bull
In fact it was a very pleasant walk all the way back to the car. 
We posed by the memorial with what turned out to be suitably sombre looks all round.
​

Lunch was, once again, at the Lambs Green Inn.
