More loopy Loop

Another two sections completed (20 and 21). Only one more walking day left and we're done...

This walk was a bit of a worry - England has been lashed by wind and rain all week, but amazingly we had very little rain, and what we did have came at the end. Yet again we've managed to walk on a decent weather day. In fact for an hour or so before lunch it was positively lovely - very warm and sunny.

But crazy sections! The instructions did not match the map at all, and the little loop signs also seemed to bear no resemblance to either the map or the instructions at all. Needless to say we got lost, but Mhairi and Nicola managed to navigate us back to where we should be. All very odd - and somewhat frustrating. Luckily it wasn't raining - I think we probably all would have had sense of humour failures had we been trying to work it out in the rain!

But we did stumble upon a random collection of wooden sculptures which seemed to have an animal/nature theme. No explanation as to who had made them, or why they had been made, but they were really clever. And in the afternoon, to make a change from big scary dogs, we were 'chased' by a posse of horses. Who galloped (and I mean galloped!) from one side of the field to the other as soon as they saw us. All very odd, and just slightly un-nerving - I quite like horses, but not when there are lots of them bearing down on us at speed!

It will be quite odd when this is all over and done with...
