Clints Crags - 1
Wednesday, 26th July
Not a terribly exciting walk this, it has to be said but it was close to home and one I decided could be done in an afternoon as opposed to a whole day (I am trying to start my walks later in the day due to heat).
I started this walk the wrong way round I discovered, about half-an-hour into it. I didn't think this would matter particularly but what with not having a proper O.S. map - (just the 1 inch to a mile one) and the false start, I managed to get hopelessly lost and ended up walking for hours in thistle-invested fields surrounded by horrid bitey-things.
Did find Thackray Cottage however and saw my first tawny owl in the wild, which flew from the ruins when I approached.
Stopped off to visit St. Bartholomew's church on the way. I had passed it in the spring, on my way to Watch Hill and wanted to take a closer look.
