Our walk, which took place in Terling on Sunday 19th May, was enjoyed by ten friendly strollers.
It happened to coincide with Terling's Open Gardens so we were somewhat concerned that it would be manic.
However, as we ventured out before the Open Gardens start time, we were ok and we also arrived back at the pub before the crowds.
We were lucky with the weather after all the inclement conditions prior to the walk. We were concerned that some areas would still be very muddy but fortunately most of the mud had dried up quite considerably.
Our circular walk took us across the countryside and partly alongside the river Ter.
One of the fields we walked across was covered in purple along with, and more of interest, a blaze of red. With the help of our phones, we discovered that this was Crimson Clover which none of us had ever seen before.
Towards the end of our walk we passed Terling windmill, a grade II listed Smock Mill which has been converted to residential use.
It was here that a kindly resident, who was a Chippendale lookalike, took our group photo.
Who knows what surprises there may be on our next walk - come and join us. To finish off a very pleasant morning we had a lovely lunch at the Rayleigh Arms pub
