Another walk in our woods - but this time through uncharted territory!
I hadn't been into this part of our little bit of woodland before because it was too steep, too overgrown and too boggy. However, by crawling under a fallen tree trunk I finally managed to get down to the banks of the upper reaches of the Windfall and walked along it
(well OK, squelched and squished).
I also had a paddle.
And discovered my wellie has a hole in it :-(

DeleteI took a walk in my woods tonight as well, but it was a much more somber affair since here in the US winter has arrived a little early. We still had to hose down the big white dog covered in mud.
ReplyDeleteFortunately Baz is black & shorthaired so has usually dried off by the time we've walked back down the lane home!
