Piddington - Salcey Forest - Piddington

Led by Barry. With Gordon, Maureen and Eddie. Fine sunny morning. Just under 7 miles.


Garden gnomes with a difference?




Thatched shelter opposite a fallen tree under which, no doubt before it fell, we are told the sixth Duke of Grafton used to rest on his arduous way from his home to the church.




Salcey Forest glow






View from the high platform of the treetop walk. Northampton 'lighthouse' in the distance.






Coffee and scone break

Rarely heard words: 'Shall we hang on for Eddie?"


Piddington Church


and finally . . . flapjack break.
