The dry, warm weather has been beautiful and our B & B guests have taken full advantage of the wonderful walking. A couple of weekends ago, our son Tim came down from the big smoke to see his aged parents. We had a lovely walk from Hawkridge down the Danesbrooke to Castle Bridge where its meets the Barle River below Tarr Steps.
The dogs loved it – in and out of the river the whole time and Soda was in her element. In this photo you can almost see her determination to find her stick!
On the way back we passed a rowan tree (mountain ash) growing out of an ash tree stump. Derek can remember when this was just a very small seedling (he really doesn’t get out a lot)! This walk takes approximately 2 hours and covers some of the most beautiful countryside – river, valley, moor and fields. Julie and Helen (2 of our bed and breakfast guests) are planning to do this one tomorrow and hopefully get some great photos (which we maybe able to use on the blog for a small fee)!
