The river was quite low today.

We walked up to the Lake, round the Lake and walked up into the field a short way before walking down to the entrance to Dog Kennel Wood.  Here Brian and Jacqueline decided to walk back the Barn - blue route, the rest of us walking up into Dog Kennel Wood along to Gravel Hole Wood and down to the Cycle Track, over the Wooden Bridge and up into the Pinetum.  Jillian and Kate took the high path to the viewing area.
