This morning my life hit a new low, I was doing the ironing and watching Homes Under the Hammer.
What is my world coming to?
So this afternoon to redress the balance Ridgedaughter and I went for a local walk.
10 minutes road walking takes us to Trent Park county park at Cockfosters. This is so local but today I actually found a path I've not walked before.
We then joined the London Loop for a little while.
Before turning off on another new path.
Then a little more road walking before cutting across fields.
A lot of the paths through the fields here run between 2 hedges
A beautifully positioned bench.
Across a road, down a bridleway and then an underpass under the M25
A permissive path allows you to avoid a narrow, and usually busy, lane
There are a series of small, shady ponds amongst the trees.
Views south towards London with Canary Wharf, the City and the Shard on the sky line.
A bridge takes us back over the M25
Rejoining the London Loop we headed to a familiar landmark on our local walks, the obelisk is the point at which we cross from countryside to the world of dog walkers.
We then passed this field of a strange red crop. Anyone know what it is?
A really good afternoons walk and perfect weather.
