A good walk

Although the weather has turned a bit dull and amp, we stuck with our plan and spent a good chunk of the day walking on Cannock Chase. I'd found a route on the Walking World site, which we joined at Essex Bridge, the ancient bridge across the Trent which leads into the park of Shugborough Hall. It took us through the park, along the busy road on the other side for a short stretch, then up onto the Chase and round to the Seven Springs car park, where we had a picnic lunch, before carrying on to join the canal towpath at Little Haywood and so home.

Including the extra walk from and to the marina, it came out at a bit over eight miles altogether, so not to be sneezed at. We're feeling pretty weary now, not having done much more than the walk into the village for the past few weeks, but hopefully we'll feel better for it in due course.

Apart from that, we've been pottering about, topping up the water tank and tumble drying the washing.

I have a trip to the Eye Clinic tomorrow afternoon, so may well not be able to post afterwards.
