That was not pleasant! Walked by an ordinary footpath from Southam (SP421625) to Stockton, this was reasonably okay. Then a short stretch of the Millenium Way, this was okay(ish) also, apart from a muddy-pawed hound jumping up at me without any attempt by its owner to restrain it. Finally back to Southam along a bridle path, which proved non-existent on the ground - the hopeful yellow guideposts pointing across acres of mud. On the plus side, heaving along the extra pounds of mud clamped on the bottom of my boots was good exercise for the leg muscles. 4.9 miles.

| The first field. A bit sticky underfoot, but nothing too bad. |

| Looks promising, but then ... |

| Ah, mud! Have to praise the Wellington boots yet again. Could not imagine doing this walk in anything else. |
