Some recent routes…

Since the weather has been so atrocious recently I’ve not felt terribly inspired to take my camera out… for fear of it drowning! Instead I thought I would record some routes on my GPS to share…

This was Tuesday mornings walk. I really like the woods at Henley Common but hadn’t properly explored any of the smaller paths. I spotted the Ironworks on the map and thought i’d take a wander in that directon. This is possibly the muddiest path in the world! Even the dogs were jumping the worst bits for fear of getting sucked in. The top part of the loop consists of that very special mud that sucks welly boots clean off your feet and is impossible to tell how deep it is. I nearly slipped over several times. Sid and Sanchez were filthy but seemed to enjoy it very much. Sid did some of his superfast running which was a little scary as he whipped past me while I was stuck in the mud, splashing muddy spray in every direction. Luckily the bottom half of this loop is very solid ground with nice ‘clean-ish’ puddles to wash off in.

For the next walk I decided a considerably drier route was in order. Bramshott is simply the best for wet weather walking…
