Coldswods Way - day 2

Today was another day of undulating hills through more pastures, country roads, and some forests. 18.5 miles in all. Though the trail is pretty will marked, a few markings are ill placed out covered by overgrowth. We missed the trail s few times. The first time we were way off but by using all trails we were able to find it was back. After that we referred to all trails more often.
The pastures are privately owned but there are public, advertised foot paths across then and anyone can respectfully cross them. We walked very closely past sheep, cows, horses and very quickly past bulls!

The country lanes were beautiful as you would imagine. Though twice it looked like the rains were about to open up on us, we were soaked with only about 10 minutes of light rain each time, then sunshine.

Both days of walking here have had tons of ripe blackberries along the trail and lots of gates to go through.Weiterlesen
