Robin Hood Way leg 2

 

Bramcote Hills Park-Trowell-Strelley-Swingate-Kimberley-Greasley-Watnall-Bulwell Hall-Bulwell (14 miles)

 

A cloudy start led to some light drizzle by mid morning, fortunately at about midday the rain stopped and it brightened up. The wind picked up later and changed direction bringing colder but clearer weather.

A label becoming very familiar now

The Hemlock Stone, sandstone which has survived the worst of the weather due to a top of harder stone

Swansea Bridge over the now disused Nottingham Canal

There is still some colour around, very welcome on this cloudy morning

Very quiet here today apart from the continual background noise from the M1 motorway on the other side of the field to the right

A calf watching me as I entered another field

After a cloudy morning with some light rain the colder weather moved in bringing sunnier skies and enhancing the colours. It might not look it but these fields were very wet and muddy, my boots quickly gaining weight and feeling like divers boots as the clumps of mud grew and grew.

The M1 motorway on a Friday afternoon. I know where I would rather be.
