After a couple of days getting back in to the work routine, doing errands for mum, it’s back to clocking up some mileage with Dolly.
This time we were back to the South Holland Main Drain. But this time we were starting our walk at the end of the drain where it joins the River Nene.
Start Point: TF 47714 20193
Distance: 2.47 miles
Total Distance: 19.94 miles
At the parking spot used to be a bungalow that I believe was used by the water company for employees.
This was another walk that I did with the wolf pack back in the day.
Today’s walk down memory lane was a bit windy. Strong enough to low my tarphat off. No old man Logan look for me this walk.
There was no sign of bird life as we made our way along the lower embankment. A fact I put down to the wind.
The only life we saw was grazing sheep in a field to our right as we walked away from the car.
When we ascended on to the top of the embankment I saw no trace of the trees or remains of a bridge I would have sworn had been there.
My memory was most definitely playing tricks on me and possibly merging two similar walks together.
With the wind turbines on the opposite side it felt a little like we were in the shadow of the new fen giants that tower above the landscape.
It wasn’t until we were nearly back to the car that we heard some bird song. But that was drowned out by the roar of a jet fighter once more taking part in target practice over The Wash.
As we made our way pass the remains of the bungalow I noticed for the first time ever a door way that went down (photos above). If I had been alone I might have explored it.
Once back in the car out of the wind we headed back home. Dolly snoozing all the way back on the seat next to me.
