We took advantage of a sunny day and some spare time to go for a wander on the Greta Walk. We started at Greta Bridge and just walked for a couple of hours had a picnic and then turned back and walked back the same route. If we had persevered probably another 200 yards we would have come to the bridge and could have walked back the other side of the river Greta but for some reason we didn't!!!
It was gloriously peaceful we only met two other people - dog walkers - right at the beginning of the walk. Sadly we only caught the tail end of the bluebells and we were saddened further by the landscape being dominated by forlorn dead Ash trees - We think it must be Ash die back - no other explanation for such a sorry proliferation of stark silhouettes of trees!
The skylarks made up for it a little and we found a lovely little platform to sit on overlooking the river to eat our picnic.
Its a very pleasant walk with a mixture of open fields covered with buttercups and some lovely forest and there is even a ruined chapel with an old graveyard to explore.
T'was good to get some fresh air and enjoy the sunshine - who knows how long summer will last!!
