The First Beautiful Spring Day



At last the weather has changed from a cold and damp northerly to todays clear blue skies and temperatures up to 13 degrees. Yesterday's walk was a tramp round the muddy paths of Wendover Woods, mild but caught in a heavy shower. Today no coat was necessary for the first time. Warm in sheltered sunny spots, absolutely ideal walking weather.

I started from the car park at Wilstone Reservoir and walked across the fields to the Wendover arm of the Grand Union Canal. I always turn left and end up at Marsworth, but today for the first time I turned right and walked a length of the canal I had never tried before. Past the end of Phase 2 restoration and on to the A41 before returning the same way. An excellent walk.
