Delamere Forest

Wandering around the maze of Delamere Forest (and its lack of benches) again. Meandered more north this time. Very bright, despite the forecast, with many insects on the wildflowers.

We were regularly disturbed by a convoy of noisy Segways. Whatever next?!

39.7miles to Yorkshire. How far is far enough?

Tegg's Nose

Revisiting Tegg's Nose after nearly a year and a half. As usual, a roasting hot, sunny day. We spent a long time on the first descent with lots of rain-drops on the foxgloves, Redstarts and a family of Stoats! We could have stayed there all day.
