Nelson

This 5 mile walk was led by Ron (taking over from Chris) on Tuesday 4 November 2008. All pictures and captions by Ron Moore (For Philip's pictures see below)


We started from the Moot CP, Downton..These are the ornate gates.		After following the river, we crossed a stile......

.....and a rough foot bridge...		..to reach a concret farm track.

We went on to pasture via a sucession of kissing gates...		....

...to reach Charlton All Saints		We turned east to walk on pasture and via a number of bridges...

..a hazardous footpath...		..to reach a weir.

Another view		and we did have some walkers too!

We reached the old mill.		Which is now a house.

Shortly after the Mill, we turned off left through the woods.		When we reached patch of meadow land we paused for refreshments.

Lookin up the meadow, we saw Trafalgar House (the Nelson connection)		We continued through woodland to reach a road near Standlynch farm.

We walked up the road to a junction ...		where we turned left near the Lodge.

Having crossed the bridge over the bed of the disused railway...		...we then walked on a path south parallel to the track and at the road wnt under a bridge.

We crossed a field where the line of the path was not evident.		to reach the track of the railway on the other side of the field.

Ron, standing in as Leader.....		....leads us gaily on our way

Alongside the River Avon		What are these? Giant Puffballs, of course.

Not Egrets, only gulls up a tree		Another bridge over the Avon

Judith doesn't mind the mud		Yet another bridge over the Avon

Is Philip trying to lead us astray?		And another bridge over the Avon

Coffee break by the wood		Off aging through the wood

Under the bridge this time		Almost home.
