Eight of us completed a 4 mile walk through the Warwickshire countryside. The walk started well, confidently crossing the River Avon past some interesting remains of an old watermill. However we soon found ourselves lost in a wood. The direction of the path was not clear. After much discussion and consulting the map Richard discovered the path had been obstructed. The stile was overgrown and there was some barbed wire placed across the route of the path. Bravelly the 8 intrepid walkers cleared a path and carried on. Soon another adventure began as we had to cross a field with a herd of very unfriendly bullocks who were looking at us in a very menacing way.
We made it safely across the field and continued until we found ourselves at Little Lawford Ford and you can see a photo of the group discussing options as it was too deap to wade through. We found a bridge just around the corner and were able to get back across the river and made it back to the Old Smithy in time for lunch, the most important part of the walk!
