6/5/2022 Walking from Willoughby Waterleys to Peatling Parva. app 5 miles

Beautiful day for walking  from Willoughby Waterleys to Peatling Parva. Only two stiles, mostly by-ways and a few fields, meeting at The Old School. 


Surplus garden produce was on offer before the walk started. Rhubarb in abundance so jam is a possibility also somebody mentioned a crumble. Oh, and there were plenty of tomato plants for those with green fingers.


Walking out of Willoughby Waterleys


On Q a pony and trap arrived but we couldn't hitch a ride as it already had a passenger.




Off on to the bridleway and a wild flower meadow just like old times.


More horses.



The riders were very friendly so we all had a quick chat whilst admiring the skill in actually riding a horse. 


We noticed how a lot of the early blossom was fading and giving way to more varieties.



A particular area of this walk just ahead can be unpassable if there has been a lot of rain. 



On our way to the first stile of the walk.



Two more fields and we will be at St Andrews Church in Peatling Parva.




A friendly puppy greeting everybody enroute.


Welcome to St Andrews.






Down to the local for refreshments.





After a while, someone ordered a couple of sandwiches.  Unfortunately they arrived just as we were leaving.



Problem of the late sandwiches solved - we all shared them, an unexpected treat!


On our way back the stiles always stretch the group out a little.


Found a comfy seat.



Nice to see you all again.


Bye bye.

 
Another great walk, see you all next week.
