With all the recent rain the decision was made to save the Winford walk to later in the year and to walk to Flax Bourton, Bourton Coombe and Barrow Court instead. Still muddy sections but no where near the bog-snorkelling that would have ensued on the Winford walk!

Seven of us turned up on an unpromising morning but luck was with us, and although we had spells of light drizzle the heavy rain kept away until just as we got back to cars.

We had an interesting walk with plenty to see on the way. Not far up the Coombe we were greeted by a very entusiastic flock of sheep who gave us a very noisy welcome and brought their young to us to show off.
