My Patch covers a fair chunk of ground, but to be fair I can and do cover it all. On foot. Maybe not every day or even week, [[::cough cough:: year...]], but I get there.
With - at least according to the local constabulary at time of typing - driving anywhere to take your exercise 'very naughty', this has meant said Patch's further reaches getting more visited. When the usual constraints around Real Life [yes, that] allow, at least.
Thus it was that I beat my southern bounds a little while back. You may recall some pretty Willow Warbler pictures?
Yep, from here;
A footpath in the south west
of the Patch
I started at the Nose, then followed the coast south, before heading inland up my southern boundary [which is a little north of the bit where Patch Bounds hit the coast, for Technical Reasons]
You may recall I was here last year;
Looking out from Preston Down
After some more climbing, a turn, and some vexation at seemingly over the top closures of outdoor areas, I eventually got to this bit;
Oh dear, he's getting all arty again...
Well before all that, assorted other pictorial bits. Ignoring even a nodding aquaintance with temporal order...
Torre Abbey bird baths
Boo hoo
Caption competition
Real art
This takes me
back-ack-ack...

Berry Head from London Bridge
Repurposed fortification;

This is...
.. one of...
... my favourite...
... sections of coast path.
Back where it
[almost] began
It was a good yomp - and my feet certainly knew it! - but well-worth the effort. :)
Coming up, you may be amazed to learn, is part 2, when I went the other way, more or less, though with less time to play with I didn't get as far before fading light curtailed play.
Oh, and me actually talking a bit about birds.
Then we'll have more Bugs! and pretty flowers and things.. Ah, joy.
:D
Be Seeing You...
