Saltram, Plympton - Sunday 7th November 2010

Dave still keen to do the training!  He set off with Bob from home, and I met up with him in the car park at Saltram 20 minutes later.  It only takes an hour to do the circuit around the grounds.

Saltram House

 

 The car park is full as you can see.  

Lots of different breeds of cows in this field

 It must be very wet here, as one cow was up to its belly in mud.

NT have been busy putting new signposts around the walk

The path leading to the beach

The tide is in today

An action shot of Bob and a little terrier who attached himself to Bob's neck!

The view beside the River Plym across to Sainsburys' sails and the A38

We are three quarters way round now and are coming up to the bird hide in a few more yards.

Blaxton Meadow

 We saw egrets here today

Not sure if you can  read this, I am too short to get a good shot of this!

Information about the birds on the Meadow.

Twitchers paradise

The field at the bottom of the hill

 From here is a steep hill back to the car park and is the most testing part of the walk!  Bec loves this bit, as she came down here on her bike once and discovered she had no brakes!!

The Duck pond outside the court yard area

It was 4 30 by the time we got back to the car and the NT shops were closed.
We do this walk regularly on a sunday afternoon.
