Gretton to Spanhoe Lodge - 21st Oct 2024

 Monday 21st October, with Norma and Kate.

A flat walk along the ridge above the Welland valley. Around 7 miles.

We walked from Gretton to Spanhoe Lodge in spite of mud on the farm track at the start.


If we dodged the puddles the brambles got us!

Decent views over the valley from further along.  There are some fence structures on the fields, which look like enclosures for trees, though we saw no trees.  


Spanhoe Lodge was open and welcoming, and preparing for Christmas!



We had coffee and bara brith. One of the owners is Welsh and bakes it.  

After a longish break, we walked the 3 miles or so back to Gretton. On the way back, through the small wooded area, Norma spotted an unknown tree, which looks quite exotic.
