Overton Scar at the only point that we could get near enough to see it through the trees.Walk stats:Distance:11.1 miles, Climb:386'.
Time:5 hours 20 minutes; On the move walking average:2.6 m.p.h.; Overall walk average:2.1 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Richard, Roger and Annie H.
This wasn't a day for taking photographs, the weather was warm and humid whenever it stopped raining, and that wasn't often. Thankfully the weather behaved itself for the last hour or so of the walk, always a good way to end the day. In fact by the time we were back at the Black Dog at Waverton, it was so sunny we could have sat outside with our drinks, we didn't!
These were a couple of walks that would benefit from being completed in dry weather when you're more inclined to search out and find the many historical features along the route.
Birds seen or heard included:House sparrow, Buzzard, Blackbird, Nuthatch, Black-billed magpie, Woodpigeon, Grey partridge, Great tit, Chiffchaff, Carrion crow and Yellowhammer.
Several Rabbits were seen on route and Richard saw a Brown hare and Annie a Fox.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Black Dog at Waverton, where the best beer on offer was Everards Tiger.
