Fosbury Hillfort and a walk in the mist
I had my first long walk of the year yesterday. I'm just starting the Guild of Weavers Spinners and Dyers Certificate of Achievement in Spinning and I needed to take photos of the woods in winter. I have to create designer yarns and my theme for them is Fruits of the Forest. I'm taking inspiration from the woods during the changing seasons. I keep my horse Archie at Vernham Dean with my best friends horses and she suggested a 6ish mile route to a hillfort called Fosbury, which would take in gorgeous scenery, forest and hills, and some road work. I invited my Dad and my uncle Simon, who are both avid walkers. The day before was beautiful, sunny and clear. Yesterday was dank, misty and cold. Typical, although usually when my Dad and I try to go for a walk it decides to howl a gale and rain cats, dogs, livestock... We had a fantastic walk despite or perhaps due to the weather. It stayed relatively dry, and the views were moody and atmo...
