South Brent - Shipley Bridge 30th December 2010

A 6 mile walk today with Dave, Teresa, Lewis, Rebecca and Bob.  Robert Hesketh 's walk exploring the Avon Valley between South Brent and Shipley Bridge would have been spectacular if the fog had lifted!  However, the views along the river, and the snow drifts on the paths between Corringdon Ball and Ball Gate were amazing.

Can you see Bob??

Bob was too fat to fit under the stile, so Dave had to lift him over.

Bob's laughing as he's managed to transfer some fox's poo onto Dave's coat!!

The walk was very well signposted so although we couldn't see much due to the fog, we couldn't get lost.
Took us 3 hours altogether.
