A shortish walk today, from Vicarage Lane in Whalley through the fields to Spring Wood.

1. This stream will soon be close to houses, they are building from Whalley main Road right up to the edge of Spring Wood.
2. Whalley Nab just before we enter the woods and under the bypass.
3. These are the woods in question.
4. As we enter Spring Wood I am met by a whole drift of this Orchid.
5. There are a few tree stumps around the woods that people knock coins into, no idea why!
6. The Ferns now dominate under the canopy, if it was a bit warmer you would mistake it for tropical.
7. The cows are correct, it's raining now.
8.Heading back down in the rain, just a glimpse of the viaduct in Whalley.
