TR Autumn in Gelt Woods Sun 18 Oct 20
« on: 18:37:38, 20/10/20 »
We slept in so it was a late start for us. It wasn't a bad day at all but we were a bit late to get anywhere beyond local. We chose Gelt Woods because Squeaky can have a good run about and we thought the trees might be nice to see changing colour. We parked near Capontree Hill and walked on the public right of way by Unity. We saw some nice colours in the trees on the way.

On the track to Unity


Autumn colours


We were now on the footpath leading to Gelt Woods

Squeaky leading the way in Gelt Woods


Squeaky was now off the lead and suddenly she shot off like a bullet chasing something in the trees that we had not seen. She came back in about a minute but thankfully she hadn't caught whatever it was she'd seen! It may have been falling leaves she'd seen because they were falling like rain!

Approaching the river


Next to the River Gelt


The photo isn't askew, the trees, except one, all seem to be leaning over into the river.

River Gelt again


We sat and had our lunch here next to the river away from the path. What a lovely lunch it was.

We walked toward Middle Gelt Bridge then turned back and walked the bridleway back to the car. A short but lovely walk. 4.35 miles with 234m ascent.

Well, there are no incriminating photos.

They are lovely houses there, where the rich people live!

Yes, we had a nice evening at home eating curry and we did have a nice walk Sunday. We still would have preferred being out though  ;D
