Minchinhmpton walk - Wednesday 12 February 2020 Previous Next All It's a beautiful day up at the Old Lodge And Franceska outlines the walk A brief stop to talk about pillow mounds and rabbits With views over the common and blue sky Down through Box Woods To the Weighbridge We don't stop for the 2-in-1 pies, but we do talk about them On up through Hazel Wood Coffee stop at Shiptons Grave Lane Then on along the valley Some puddles are still covered in ice On the top and heading for lunch Views towards Avening Down to Longman's Barn Farm Views to Minch, you can just see the church A good wide path through the top of Hazel Wood Past a small pond Brian is injured by a branch flipping back But is treated with Lenneke's steri-strips A dire stile, but Jill gets over elegantly Elephant's ears And heather Then up to Pinfarthings and the tunnel which leads us back to the common.
