-
- A rather public campsite!
-
- The canal along here is quite twee, some of the bankside gardens reminded me of those along the Water of Leith heading into Edinburgh. There’s something about a watercourse that brings out character.
-
- Ellesmere is quite a pretty town in places and there were lots of orchids on the castle mound.
-
- A mere indeed.
-
- Either someone has painted a theatrical backdrop onto the sky, or that’s Wales over there…
-
- The acme and apotheosis of moist.
-
- The forecast is – moist.
-
- Moist indeed.
-
- The epitome of moist.
-
- Gestural architecture.
-
- But in a good way – Loggerheads is an actual village, still in Staffordshire, just about.
-
- Poignant memorial overlooking the pool at Wharf.
-
- Seriously, some of the nettles on this footpath were taller than me.
-
- I was hoping that if I sat by a nursing home to change my dressings a nurse might appear…
-
- There’s only one way to the pub…
-
- This is, seriously, a public footpath.
-
- Through the fields of barley, not too bad…
-
- I envied this sheep its cosy barn.
-
- Complete with bijou bridges.
-
- Oh joy, everything is wet again.
-
- Moist…
-
- As moist a footpath as anything on the Hebridean Way.
-
- Footpath getting a bit obscure…
-
- Hundreds and hundreds of frightened young gamebirds in pens!
-
- This is a public footpath…
-
- Oh dear…
-
- On this occasion a noisy main road actually provided an interlude of pleasant walking.
-
- I’d say they definitely need a water management scheme here.
-
- This section of the towpath forms part of an actually quite well known Way.
-
- It was a bit drier here and there was hardly anyone about.
-
- You get a view of the Moss from the towpath, it’s a wild and woolly looking place alright and famous for dragonflies.
-
- This pretty plantation was positively pleasant.
-
- Staffordshire still had one more trick up its sleeve. It says this stile was installed by The Ramblers, I bet they’re annoyed.
-
- That well-known Way!
-
- Famously, the Welsh spare no expense on their welcomes.
