The Power of Water

Another favourite walk tok K and I to Gelt Wood today. It has been very wet here recently and as you can imagine the river is running high. Over the years visiting here I have been amazed by the way the water has carved out a course for itself through the valley.



Man too has spent some time here carving away at the sandstone in the old quarry...




We stopped at what has become a favourite spot for a rest, a picnic and in the summer at least a bit of a paddle. Can you spot the stolen / borrowed wellies?




We spotted this beautiful bracket fungus along the way...




Before heading home for a piece of almond pear tart.....
