I didn't post in previous lockdowns, because the walks were repetitive. But many people asked where they were, so here goes....
Just before lockdown 3 - only able to walk in Tier 4 areas.
There was still snow, and the walk was cold! This was an out and back from Stewpony Lock to the Navigation pub (closed, because of the pandemic)
Water frozen in places, including this aqueduct over the River Stour
Conditions underfoot were not too bad
What a difference a nice sky makes! And under foot, the snow was beginning to thaw.
The lovely gardens of John Massey, founder of Ashwood Nurseries, are aften open to the public for charity, even in winter.
They are interesting in every season
Still pretty snowy
Rocky lock - self explanatory name!
First outing for my new Christmas hat
Squirrels' drey in the canalside tree
I always like these two trees
Snowy fields towards Gothersley
Icy bridle path to Greensforge Lane
The occasional lake. It's only there after very heavy rain leads the Smestow Brook to overflow.
Details: Out and back - Stewpony lock to Navigation pub. Just under 6 miles. You can make out and back walks as long or short as you like! Nice and easy walking.
