The National Forest Way
Today I turned left onto The National Forest Way.
The path this way was quite overgrown in places with brambles and stinging nettles, and when it came to crossing some of the fields, the path was just visible. You also have to walk past a sign saying the way is a private gated road – no access – I ignored that.
Swarbourne Meadows
However there was a viewing platform – a small view as I am sure the trees have grown since it was installed, but a good spot for a coffee.

National Forest Way to the River Trent
The National Forest Way passes by Wychnor Park Country Club – so before it got too hot this morning I walked out to the River Trent along the path.
Along the way, I found a suitable spot for to brew a coffee, out in the countryside but definitely in the shade – my bush hat can only keep so much sun off me.

This squirrel came for breakfast.

The Strangles and Little Strand
On the recommendation of one of the staff at Woodford Bridge I went out to a cliff top and beach walk near Crackington Haven – The Strangles and Little Strand. She recommended as she regularly went there and there were few visitors even in the hight of summer – and I can see why the path was pretty steep ending in a rope assisted scramble.
I had the beach to myself.
Lunch was on the way back up and was pretty simple – same stove as yesterday, using Dragon fuel this time, Indian Tea, Flapjack and Father’s Day Jaffa Cakes. With a great view.
