Carole checking the route...
A considerable part of the walk was through fields of oilseed rape. I have never been so close to the stuff before, and didn't realise it can grow to six-foot plus...
Rain showers in the morning gave way to sunshine as we approached Perry Green. The Henry Moore Foundation has its base here. The public footpath runs through it and enables the artistically-minded Rambler to see a significant number of Moore's monumental works in a beautiful setting. It is unfortunate that the foundation feels compelled to charge £12.00 Entry Fee to anyone who wishes to stray from the footpath.
The first views are of Large Reclining Figure (1984), pictured below.
The Ramblers Art Appreciation Society were suitably thoughtful...
Though it may have been too much for one of our party....
Some navigational problems on the return leg extended our route, and we ended up covering thirteen-and-a-half miles in the day.
