Have not been to FJ for years, even a tarmac road to pub these days! The walk started from the pub and we followed the canal for about 2.5 miles. The colours, even on such a misty day were amazing.
Only 66 miles to Preston Brook.
Monster mushrooms growing amongst the fallen leaves.
Kings Bromley Wharf, not a lot going on there these days.
Don't they know the canal is closed around the bend?
After about 2 miles we left the canal behind us and continued along a B road towards Kings Bromley.
Wonderful autumnal colours in every garden. Soon we found a farm track and a long horned cow.
aahhhh, baby fresians.
Next stop, Alrewas Hayes, (nice wedding venue). Beautiful farmhouse although pity about the bit stuck on at the end to change what must have been a beautiful symmetrical Georgian farmhouse.
Maize? No, bamboo? now why would anyone grow so much bamboo?
Across a field of brassicas.....across a wood by the mobile homes and finally a wonderful sight.
2 hours in total, a great walk, hardly anyone about and those of us hardy souls who were, well our spirits were lifted by a trudge, a yomp, a ramble, a hike, a meander, anything you may wish to call it. A brilliant walk.
