A word of warning. The walk descriptions are not detailed enough to guide you - please take a map. The batteries never run out, and you always have a signal. Oh, And don't take left or right as gospel!

May 2025 - Short local strolls, Northamptonshire

 

Friday 16th May


In the afternoon we  walked down West Hill and along the track



to the Community Orchard with its new table.


an interesting beastie


A walk round the village after dinner  - we saw a few swifts today, and Harry heard a distant cuckoo.


Saturday 17th May

After lunch we decided to walk down behind Church Gap, in search of the cuckoo that Harry heard last night.




The sun came out and the temperature rose. We met our neighbour and her daughter returning from a walk with their two dogs, Henry and Hugo.   



No joy on the cuckoo front, but a lovely walk of around 3 miles as far as the bridge over the Welland just before Thorpe by Water. We returned to have tea in the garden.

Later walk to see swifts - no cuckoo heard.
