Down In The Woods

Went walking yesterday.  It was up in the air as to where we'd go but we ended up at Hay Wood near Baddesley Clinton.  There was shooting taking place and the sign said to stay on the main tracks.  It wasn't long before we came to a dead end.  After a few minutes looking at the map it was decided that if we headed out the wood  we could complete a 7 mile walk around Baddesley Clinton and Rowington.

As we set out across fields and along lanes the weather, which had been cloudy all morning, brightened.  Blue skies and sunshine and although it is still the start of January there was a feel of Spring in the air.

The walk itself took about 3 hours and took us onto the canal tow path.  The canal was still frozen in places but looked lovely in the sunshine.

Leaving in the tow path we headed down the road and then down a very muddy track until we got to the house at Baddesley Clinton.  It was closed but we sat in the grounds and ate our packed lunch before walking up past the church and back to the car at Hay Wood.
