Yes, that's right. My second walk today.
I seem to be feeling the need to revisit some previously regular walks that I've not done for a while. First, there was the Drewton Wold circuit, which I avoided for a while until the tree thinning process had re-naturalised. Now there's this lovely little walk which, if my memory serves me correctly, also got left for a while due to tree thinning. The other walk I've not done for a while is the Brantingham/Elloughton/Welton walk. I seem to think that's because "they" got rid of the friendly Highland cattle in Welton Dale and replaced them with frisky young bullocks.
Anyway, back to today's second walk...
Start of the walk - I follow the path to the right of the woodland |
Violets |
Quirky Curiosity |
Signpost OCD |
A geocache |
Brew With a View |
I love this old tree - it really stands out on the horizon |
Wauldby Dam |
Views over all of Hull in the distance (clearer in real life than in this pic) |
Heading back into the woodland |
Wauldby Scrogs - brilliant name! |
Bluebells just starting to emerge |
Wood Anemone |
A whole carpet of them! |
Primroses |
More Bluebells |
Wild Garlic |
I really enjoyed this walk. It needs a couple more weeks for the bluebells and garlic to be out in full bloom I think. I'll be keeping my eye on it as the woodland is like an enchanted forest when the floor's carpeted with bluebells and garlic and bathed in sunshine.
