Pictures below....

A cracking day with all sorts of adventures.

Lovely countryside and lovely walking.

Found a serene spot by a lake where John and Steven recalled an event from some years previous... apparently they had arrived at this lake and saw someone camping. They introduced themselves and the guy told them (in dismay) that he was on a 'silent retreat' and hadn't heard anyone speak for months!

We made our way up and down and really needed the map to guide us to hidden stiles and through cut down forest; even to take us in front of someone's cottage! It didn't seem that anyone had walked this for ages.

Eventually though, the trail petered out. The (old) map showed a footpath straight down the hill through very tall ferns. However Joe found a 'redirect' sign and on we went but couldn't find the stile. We blundered about and decided to drop down the ravine to the river and ford it and climb up the other side. Easier said than done. We got through eventually (see last 3 pictures) and made our way (belatedly) to the car and home. A great adventure.

Keep on Hiking
