Loynton Moss

Today the sun shone, and we enjoyed another lovely visit to Loynton Moss. As it is a bank holiday there were more people around than usual so we followed some of the smaller paths off the beaten track, it didn't take long to feel as though we were the only people within miles.

Loynton Moss revisited

I really enjoy our visits to Loynton Moss and today was no exception, the sun shone through the remaining autumnal leaves and even after last nights rain all the paths were still dry - A little too dry as far as the Moss is concerned but it made for a very pleasant walk none the less.

The Moss - very dry especially for the end of October
