Our walk in Guildford’s Riverside Nature Reserve ended at Bowers Lock on the River Wey Navigation. Click on any picture below to see them enlarged.

Badger

A dead badger by the side of the road. It remained there for at least a week with very little sign of disturbance and then, one day, it wasn’t there.

Some iPhone snaps of the lovely Carron Pond in Farnham Park a few days ago. Click on any image to see them enlarged (if viewing in email you may need to click on the post title to open in a browser first).

Close to Land’s End

In the distance of the first picture you can see some white buildings. That’s as close as we got to Land’s End, the most westerly point in the country. Somewhere along the way we passed a Bronze Age barrow cemetery but it wasn’t tremendously apparent where it began and ended. If you click to enlarge the picture of the beach (click the post title first if you’re seeing this in an email), you can see a couple of people down there to provide some sense of scale and distance. As we walked back from almost-Land’s End to Nanjizal we came upon the same herd of horses who again tried nibbling at my clothes (while one napped).

Walla Crag to Keswick

No place to go but down from Walla Crag, passing along the shore of the Derwent Water and through Manesty Park we eventually made it back to our hotel in Keswick.

Keswick to Walla Crag

The next morning, after another hearty breakfast, a taxi took our bags onward to our hotel in Keswick and deposited us in the town center. From there we hiked up to Wall Crag, at an elevation of over 375 meters, for even more stunning views including of the Derwent Water.
