Maximum temperature here today 13⁰C, minimum 10⁰C. 11 mm rain measured this morning and it has not stopped raining since then! 23km/h South-Westerly winds with gusts up to 67 km/h. 90% chance of rain forecast for the next 7 days!!!! Not sure when I will be walking again!!
The small stream that generally 'trickles' through our local village. Glad we do not live closeby!
Narrow streets.
Looking across the fields.
Wet tracks.
A drier patch of road with Rapeseed (Brassica napus) planted on the left.
Cattle paddling in the mud, not good for their feet.
Cattle being fed in a barn.
One lone Buttercup (Ranunculus bulbosus).
Old man's beard · (Clematis vitalba).
I think this is Oakmoss (Evernia prunastri).
Possibly, Common tamarisk moss (Thuidium tamariscinum).
Teasels (Dipsacus).
I suspect this logging is being done by a paper mill.
At the 8km point, I met up with this over the road, the track I need to get to is on the other side...
I sneaked sort of around the banks on the righthand side, this was looking down the stream. The last 5kms I walked in wet, muddy squelchy shoes. Isn't mud supposed to be good for the skin 😊
Take care everybody, keep well and stay safe.
