Titchmarsh Lake, Thrapston

Tue, 2016 Jan 19 10:07 AM GMT
With Marta, fine and dry. very cold but no wind. Decent underfoot though some mud where the ground had thawed. We did an extra three miles at the start, before I switched the machine on to track the walk. Starting time is accurate.
Total around 7 miles.




Remarkable sky even around midday


Two of the many swans on the lakes


Can this be right?


This heron was still for so long that I was convinced it was not real . . .

. . . then it moved


Map and details of the second part of the walk. The first three miles were round the lake immediately to the right of our starting point!

    Thank you, Ida and Simon. A real winter day today, and the sky was breathtaking. I can rarely resist a good teasel!

    Thought I'd got the spelling teazel/teasel wrong for a moment, but it seems both will do.
