Swampy Thursday…

Veronica writes; weatherwise, Friday 2nd March would have been the preferred day for our 13 mile walk, but I was attending the Women’s Day of Prayer. Instead we chose “swampy Thursday” as we have christened it. The weather was off-putting for most of the morning. However, having parked the car at Bardon Mill opposite the Potteries, we set out over the railway crossing and headed up to an old intact Basle house used in Border Reiver times. Making our way towards Allen Banks, we had trouble crossing a ford due to the previous 48 hours of continual rain. It took us 20 minutes to find a safe spot to cross 100 yards. This occurred on at least two other occasions during the day. Despite the weather which cleared up in the afternoon, we had a wonderful walk.
