Mmm moist

I discovered this weekend why the area in which I now live used to be known as Westbury Marshes. After riding out to Rudge, my sister and I headed down to Clearwood and the south-west along the edge of Blackdog Woods, to the A36 where the bridleway became this…

Now it had been rather wet along to this point (see map of location here) but to find a lake was somewhat surprising.

We found a way around by climbing through the woods but I suspect we’ll not use that bridleway again till mid-summer 😉
