Starting today at Blewbury School and along the track as far as East Hagbourne. Here the path turns to the left and emerges at the back of the church. Having walked through the churchyard and on towards the disused railway embankment there are several alternatives.
Today’s walk took me back towards Upton ( perhaps I’ll visit West Hagbourne another day) and comes out by the church. Back then along the coffin path and out onto Westbrook Street Blewbury.
I did get very wet at one point, sudden very heavy showers seem to be a frequent occurrence at the moment but I did wonder if it might be good preparation for the Orkney Isles!
Reflections of the day – we used this route a couple of times for a school sponsored walk – a very different experience today – perhaps a little too quiet!
Passed the meadow at the back of Upton Church – left to be wild currently – we did use this a couple of times for a May time Pilgrimage Service – all walking from school and joining together for worship out of doors.
Note to self – perhaps I should also walk to Churn Knob and Blewburton Hill – both used for Pilgrimage services. Happy memories of all being together and on several occasions including overseas visitors.
7.5 km today – trying to be ready for Orkney without overdoing it – left hip a bit sore today – but so much better than before.
