Last Sunday afternoon the folks from BeachcomberFX went for one of our regular walks, this time we started at Plessey Woods to Stangington and then back to the car park, it was about 6 miles in total and we were out for about four hours including time to stop for a beer in a local hostelry.
Seventeen adults, six kids and six dogs… negotiated the woods, with the river at our side and the autumn leaves on the trees and underfoot, it was beautiful… we were accompanied by the noise of kids playing and dogs… mainly Molly barking! We saw a heron and kestrel as we walked. The most dangerous part was trying to cross the A1!! Not a feat I would recommend, all managed to get across but it was rather scary, so much so that we came home a different way to avoid it!
We had a nice cold beer at Stangington which refreshed us for the walk back. Many and varied conversations were had as we enjoyed the countryside and took in the sights and sounds.
