Travelling the Byways

We set off early [8.30am] this morning to travel some of the Byways of Northamptonshire.
What a glorious day, nice bright sunshine but not too hot. Starting with the Byway that runs along side Overstone Park we travelled through Holcot to the Byway near Walgrave. Onward through Old to the byway running past Faxton where the sheep and lambs seem to want to escape when you open the gates. Our route then took us through countryside around Maidwell, where we came to a dead stop as the gate had not been unlocked after the Winter closure. A zig-zag of Byways from Thornby to Cold Ashby and Elkington to our final Byway which is a flowing river near Dodford.
Luckily as I opened the gate the cows, and bull were far across the other side of the field!

On gate duty again

The dreaded Rape seed which has Chris coughing and sneezing.

A tight entrance made to stop people flytipping

Taking it slow

Almost through the twists and turns

All stop for the Cow crossing

Lots of new lambs in the fields

Entering the water at Dodford.
Should have been a video but my camera did not cooperate and I could not get Chris to back up so I could have another go!
Home at 3.30pm in need of a cuppa and a car wash.
