HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our regular New Year trek up to Browne’s Folly and through the woods at Bathford. We first did this walk in January 2017 and it has become the traditional first walk of the year for Bath Ramblers.

Foggy pre-walk Two weeks ago when we pre-walked this route it was damp and foggy

Clear January views Today it was very mild for January and the views were really clear. Here the sun is shining down on Freezing Hill Lane on the horizon.

Nature reserve info signs Information about the nature reserve is available in several spots

Steps through the woods to the folly The view of the folly as you climb the steep steps through the woods.

Friendly goats near the tower It’s always a happy walk when the goats are about. Today they were in a very friendly mood.

Winter fungi There’s not much growing at this time of year apart from a lot of impressive fungi.

Bradford-on-Avon wheel Part of this route is along the outer circle of the BoA wheel.
