As we set off on the next stage of our walk, I was very much hoping for bluebells. I know they are around, but we didn't see many. Lots of lovely smelling wild garlic, as well as other wild flowers along the way.
Our route this time was quite often not alongside the river, but we caught glimpses. There was lots of lovely woodland, evidence of historic mining, as well as some interesting villages that we had not been to before.
We enjoyed passing through Chilsworthy, Latchley and Luckett. Given my interest in knitting we were admiring this lovely decorated phonebox in Latchley, when a nice lady arrived to update the decorations, and told us they were having a party next week to officially open the defibrillator it now holds.
We enjoyed seeing lambs again, and rescued this black beetle from the road.

We finally arrived at Horsebridge, and this was the view from the bridge, which we crossed back into Devon. We then had a bit of miscommunication with my husband, who we were hoping would be there to pick us up. Very hard to get phone coverage, but there was a handy phonebox (blast from the past) and lemonade from the Royal Inn, which got us through the long wait.
We didn't manage a whole stage again, but are planning to walk more frequently now the weather is improving.
