Set off early this morning to follow a Tulip map route Chris had collected from 2016. It took us one and half hours to reach the starting point outside a pub in the middle of nowhere!
The main attraction of this route were the many Fords to wade through, plus we had not travelled in this area before.

| Armed with Tulip maps and Ordinance Survey maps! |
 |
This start of our Green Lane adventure is VERY green !
Need to keep the windows closed to stop the stinging nettles attacking me! |
 |
| The first of many Fords looks a bit tame, cannot imagine it getting to the top of the height marker. |
 |
| Chris stopped in the middle of this Ford to take a photo of the Pack bridge |
 |
| Ah this one looks better... splish splash |
 |
| For the sake of a photo I get out and walk across the footpath bridge |
 |
| Gentle approach until you know how deep it is. |
 |
| At this point I realised the walkway went off into a field and there did not look like a way to get back to the car! |
 |
Will I see you again?
A short walk through a field and a gate let me back onto the lane and rescue. |
 |
| Lots of these signs everywhere |
 |
| Even though there is a foot bridge I'm not getting out again to get lost in the brambles. |
 |
| Looks like a couple of streams meet at this point |
 |
| Another pretty bridge as we drive through the water |
A really brilliant day out, sun was just bright enough but not too hot, the lanes were fun although some were extremely overgrown, Chris thought at one point he would have to get his saw out [always prepared] to get through the tangle of trees. We found a nice spot where only the birds could be heard to have our pack up lunch.
Seven hours after leaving home we arrived back for a most welcome cuppa.
