River's high
It has been raining heavily during the last week or so, but that day was bright and dry, so I took a walk along the river. It was high as expected, and the path was muddy. First obstacle was the river blocking the footpath. I did the lumberjack thing, swinging from tree to tree....
The stepping stones at this point were underwater too. This is a winterbourne; perfectly dry in Summer, now gurgling away happily.
Walkers and ramblers are like rivers: they find the path of least resistance. This style was bypassed months ago and is in disrepair.
This pool is filled with river water in Summer. I'm not sure that it's officially a swimming pool, but people swim in it. I avoid it. Lyme disease anyone? I'm not sure what that shower-like thing is in the middle - I've not seen it before.
And so, back home, via paved roads and paths.

Lumberjack thing, Mark, or the Tarzan thing, with the yodel?
Greetings Mr. N.O. It was more picking my way, rather than the Tarzan method. But I like the idea; perhaps in a future trip when there's a bit less water so I can do it in style.
