It was a lovely morning when only 4 of us turned up for the annual Sponsored
Walk. But not letting numbers deter us, off we set to walk from the Church,
down to Welton, walking parallel with the Greenway for a short time, then
onto the Old Fosse Road leading us into Clandown Bottom.

We progressed to Top Road in
Paulton and down through Withy Mills, where we decided to have our lunch-stop
in a field called Middleground. |
| Seated nicely on tree stumps,
out came our Lunch boxes and flasks. Just as we started eating, along came
a very inquisitive horse, followed by several others. |
|
|
The first horse had his nose
in Kathy Dymond’s lunch box looking for a treat, and he would not
take no for an answer, so we had to make a dash for the next field with
horses in hot pursuit! |
| Having eaten our lunch and feeling
refreshed, off we went again to follow our footpath through the back of
Brittens and over to Paulto Hill, crossing by the spring, where a dip of
our hands into the icy water was very refreshing. |
|
|
We then followed the path again leading us to Salisbury Road, walking along
the side of Bloomfield Residential Home and down through the fields running
along side the Coal Tip (Batch) working our way down towards Thicketmead
and onto the Greenway again, taking us back to the Church. 7 miles was walked
and it was a very pleasant way of spending 4 hours on a Saturday. |
