Afternoon Amble

We tried the Dark Lane walk again, with friends. Another beautiful sunny afternoon on the Island, so the cool dappled shade of Dark Lane was deeply welcome! I insisted that the teenager navigate this time so that we didn't get lost, and she did a jolly good job. When we got to the sweetcorn field we went down the correct side of the hedge, down a dusty, root-strewn path past a paddock of over-excited, barking foxhounds, and came out on Snowdrop Lane.
 
From here we turned right and followed the lane uphill. Snowdrop Lane is deeply sunken between steep banks topped with trees and was lovely. When we reached the top, at Garstons, we turned right along a footpath and eventually joined back up with Dark Lane and went back to the car. A very pleasant afternoon. 
 
Distance: 3.4 miles
Footpaths: G6, G7a
