One of the many places to rest on the way up to Tegg's Nose.
The route to Charity Lane! (Observed from Tegg's Nose)
Walk stats: Distance: 7.0 miles. Climb: 1265'.
Time: 4 hours 4 minutes. On the move walking average: 2.2 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 1.7 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn and Sue Powell.
Another superb day for walking, blue skies and lots of sunshine. However on occasions a cool wind accompanied us, particularly on the way across Tegg's Nose in the latter stages of the walk.
This was quite an up and down walk, giving many superb views, particularly towards Shutlingsloe and Croker Hill. Part of the walk was through the Forest, but only a short section made you feel you were totally surrounded by trees, and even then chinks of light came through the trees.
Talking to the Rangers at Trentabank and Tegg's Nose we learned that "Chantry Lane" on the route description was in fact Charity Lane as on the O.S. Map and "Walks 1,2 and 3" went out of use a few years ago and the walks are now colour coded instead. Despite these mistakes on the described route we managed to find our way round, having had a very enjoyable walk.
Birds seen or heard today included: Common buzzard, Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Raven, Woodpigeon, Blue tit, Coal tit, Great tit, Great cormorant, Grey heron, Mallard, Tufted duck, Black-billed magpie, Canada goose, Common coot, Blackbird, European robin, Chaffinch, Dunnock and Great-crested grebe.
After walk celebrations included a very enjoyable meal at the Fort of Bengal in Sale.
