In some parts our walking boots were caked in mud and it was liked trying to walk with some heavy weights attached to your feet! Pleased to get part of the way round for a rest at the Chequers where they had muddy shoe covers to put on over our boots. We had a quick lunch and a drink. Jolly service in there and very welcoming. Rest of the walk back to where we had parked in the layby wasnt quite so muddy. I think we did this walk in April last year but it was much drier. Never mind it was all good exercise.Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-11665697418856295272023-04-09T17:05:47.706+01:002023-04-09T17:05:47.706+01:00Hi Maggie, so glad you enjoyed it.

Just interested where you got lost and whether you were using the GPS navigation. <br />Davebrewerukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449727123903424041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-77655104489545664072022-06-19T21:21:47.438+01:002022-06-19T21:21:47.438+01:00A really lovely walk.

Lots of ups and downs with good views but nothing too strenuous. Got lost a couple of times due to not checking map and instructions but were able to rejoin route. Some Stansted air traffic noise but nothing excessive. Had pint of Treacle MIne at the end.

Saw some cows, horses, a rabbit as well as a deer and the sun was shining. Stopped at The Chequers (the White Horse was closed) and my husband had the Treacle Mine Ale and we sat outside enjoying the lovely weather. The fields of bright yellow rape were absolutely beautiful. Everywhere was very dry but we could see where it must have been very muddy earlier in the year. Really enjoyed this walk and the great instuctions and will certainly do it again soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-27765767992255322962022-02-05T08:52:04.565+00:002022-02-05T08:52:04.565+00:00We've rerouted this walk to avoid the waterlog...We've rerouted this walk to avoid the waterlogged section. brewerukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449727123903424041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-23858065430005568322022-02-04T09:34:08.695+00:002022-02-04T09:34:08.695+00:00I think we should try to find an alternative route...I think we should try to find an alternative route around those points.
