To prove that it exists, I went and photographed Point C (per the town council's map) on the new re-routed bridleway around the #ShakespeareMarina at #StratfordUponAvon, which hugs the edge of the private car park for the rich people with small boats.

I believe that this sort of reconnaissance and reporting back is called #scouting, or something. This probably earns me a using-a-camera-in-the-rain badge. (-:

A public footpath sandwiched between a driveway and a public road. The blue sign says Shakespeare Marina. Trees overhang the path and a hedgerow is in the background. Leaves have fallen in various spots.

The driveway to a place that the blue sign says is called Shakespeare Marina. A gravel public footpath leads off from the driveway, behind which are some fields and a hedgerow. On the right are more footpaths, an electricity transformer, and some trees.

Another massive Tory u-turn!

Open Spaces SocietyEnvironment minister breaks government pledge to save historic pathsWe have condemned the Environment Secretary’s decision to break the government’s undertaking last year to ditch the 2026 deadline for recording lost paths in England.  Thérèse Coffey has now decided not to revoke the deadline but to extend it for five years. The deadline means that on 1 January 2031, public rights over thousands of paths, which are public highways but not yet recorded as such, or not yet recorded correctly, will be extinguished: public rights over them will then be lost for ever.

After listening to the incessant rain last night, I almost had 2nd thoughts about pioneering the #SlowWays route from #Buckfastleigh to #Ipplepen today - expecting #Devon #byways & #bridleways flowing like rivers or boot-deep in mud. A bit of both, but surprisingly passable. A flooded meadow proved more tricky. The original route, Bucipp 1 fails due to an access issue (lack of!), but I’d an alternative up my sleeve - Bucipp 2 gets 4⭐️ imo.
#Cake from Broadhempston community shop helped greatly!

An ancient lane (now recorded as a byway open to all traffic) in South Devon. The stone surface has sunk through use so that it is lower than the land either side, the steep hedge banks covered in ferns, the trees leaning over creating a tunnel. Weak blue winter sky beyond. Water running off the fields runs down the lane eroding a gulley in the surface.
A roughly triangular-shaped village green in a South Devon village. It is an area of short, well-kept grass with a number of mature trees dotted around. It is surrounded by village houses, the church tower just visible behind.
A slice of cake, one bite taken out. The airy sponge is a light caramel colour with more caramel-coloured buttercream in the middle and on top. A swirl of icing where a biscoff biscuit had been placed (the first thing to be eaten of course). The cake is held, by a hand, in front of a flooded meadow. The grass of the meadow is vivid green, with streams of water running through it, reflecting the sky, which is a clear blue.
A 14th century inn, The Church House Inn in Torbryan. The light is poor so it’s a little dark but the inn is of whitewashed stone. It has a very tall chimney and the inn sign hangs over the door. A lane runs beside the inn. The sky is blue with white clouds.

This clapper bridge spans the Becka Brook in the wooded part of the valley between Greator Rocks and Smallacombe Rocks. It’s a route from Haytor to Hound Tor, so very popular in the summer. Nice & quiet today though 😊.

I’m no horse rider, but I think you would need a sure-footed mount to negotiate the mossy boulders of the bridleway on the way down, which was also running like a stream after days of rain.

A side-on view of a small granite clapper bridge over a fast-flowing brook in a wooded valley. The bridge is formed of large granite slabs, which rest on boulders at each bank with a central pier. Large mossy boulders are scattered about the valley floor. Glimpses of blue sky between the leafless trees.
A view looking across the clapper bridge and along a bridleway, which climbs up the side of a wooded valley, between steep mossy banks and boulders. Blue sky though the twisty tree branches.
A bridleway though woodland, but there’s no obvious path on the ground - the surface appears to be a rough jumble of boulders, through which water is flowing like a stream, run-off from the moor above. Many boulders and trees are covered in a bright green carpet of moss. A tree stands out to the left of centre, its branches twisted against a pale blue sky.
