Yesterday I donned my walking boots for a much needed visit to my valley. The constant rain has made such forays rare as being a valley you need to walk down and up to get to the bottom where the river, railway and canal are and the paths are slippy and muddy.
I went for the shallower gradient walk down through Hazles wood with the intention of walking along the canal from the lock to the footpath that takes me back under the railway and over the river Churnet and back up to the lane near the falconry centre. When I got to the lock ready to to head down the valley towards Froghall there was a dog walker going that way which was unusual but understandable as they like me were taking benefit of the better weather.
No problem as I have other beautiful walks so I headed up the valley towards the Black Lion and the RSPB lakes.
Blue sky and a high sun ....
Double click on this image and you'll see the black line that shows the route I took counter clockwise
I need to get to the electrics sooner rather than later......
