This morning's walk started just before 06:00 when I picked up No1 daughter.
The forecast was a bit dubious, but we were dressed for the weather & working on the idea that skin's waterproof!
Lovely to find a pile of dumped stuff only about a mile from the Council Tip! 😔
Anyway...
The route didn't seem quite so square as we walked it!
I'd both ridden and walked most of the tracks & bridleways before but the Nene Path (a footpath) was incredibly overgrown with nettles & teasels. We were glad of long trousers & jackets. At a few points I carried the dog as she couldn't find a way through the brush 😂
Yep, that's the path!
A warning to keep out of the quarry workings!
Damp in places, but we dried out once the breeze got to us over some more open places.
Back via Earls Barton and Ecton village across slippery fields full of crops awaiting dryer weather to be harvested.
Back on about 9 miles, with none of the expected rain coming down, ready for a cuppa 🍵
