A Great spotted woodpeck, in trees next to the new extension to the Grenfield Valley Cycle Way.
The same Great spotted woodpecker on video I didn't realise I was taking.
Part of the extension to the Greenfield Valley Cycle Way (not yet completed).
Water cascading down the overflow from one of the upper pools.
Distance:3.5 miles. Climb:335'.
Time: 1 hour 35 minutes. On the move walking average: 2.4 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 2.2 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn and Ed.
The forecast had indicated that it was likely to be foggy / misty in the Holywell area, so it wasn't a surprise when it that cool damp feel. There was no chance of us overheating and winter wear coats were appreciated.
Much work has been done on the cycleway / track from Holywell to Greenfield, trees had been felled and several benches had beem installed - not that we took advantage of any of them.
The most impressive section was the extension of the track over the main road, but it wasn't clear how far towards the coast it would go once it was completed.
After a gentle srol past the abbey and the various mill pools we arrived at the Market Place ready to enjoy a pint and some food.
Birds seen or heard today included: Common blackbird, Mallard, Moorhen, Tufted duck, Little grebe, Mute swan and Great spotted woodpecker.
It was good to have Ed walking again, and hopefully it won't be too long before he joins the rest of us on a Wednesday walk.
