19 Feb - Offchurch and the River Leam - 925.1 miles to go

Offchurch village, north across the fields, across a footbridge over the River Leam, past Cubbington, along the Millennium Way, recross the river near Offchurch Bury, and back to the start point. 5.8 miles.

A good walk, with little rises and dips in the landscape to help exercise the legs. Walking quickly, I can still feel the muscles in my legs buzzing. Scenery nothing special, simply  'nice to get out' type of countryside.

In the evening, a pleasant walk over the top of Napton Hill with Dorota, my wife. 0.7 miles.

Manor Farm sheep

Having noticed them once, now noticing these lichen and moss landscapes everywhere.

Funny little craft at Fields Farm, one of a small collection of hulls.

Footbridge over the River Leam. A month ago this was unreachable because of thigh-deep floodwater.

Still muddy, but ground much less water-logged and the walk was just about do-able in walking boots, although I chose Wellies, once again, today - so much easier to clean.

Near Redhouse Farm.

The first blossom I've noticed this year.
