Hiking again!

After joining the Arrow Valley Countryside Group, I have been on a few rambles this winter/spring.

One wet day in Sandwell,
around Forge Mill Lake, Priory Woods and Sot's Hole, 27th February 2011

The mud is a constant companion at this time of year. While there are a lot of public footpaths in the West Midlands, they are often only a right of way across some squelching field - not a footpath.
