Botus Fleming, down the hill to Zigarson wood, turn right to Clampit and take the footpath ( marked) to grove Villa, exit the fiel and turn left towards North Wrayton,.At a footpath sign turn left across the fields heading to field corners, at the field with the stream at the bottom the stile is half way up the hill entering the wood, through the wood, cross the bridge and walk up the ( very) steep field and follow the arrows and gates to the farm track down to Ellridge, turn left down to west Kingsmill ( which you will recognise), trun right at the bridge , up the hill, we turned right to Rylands, Lamorna and Bicton, then left and followed the road back to Botus Fleming.
Birds: surprisingly few, possibly too windy.
Flowers: not many but still the odd wild strawberry flowering in the hedgerow.
Small joys: it remained dry!
