January 27, 2022,Lea Bridge - Coumbs Wood - Bow Wood - Walk

Steady climb out of Lea Bridge getting steeper as you cut across Beamore Wood & the fields to the top of the hill.
Then it's wonderful views followed by a most enjoyable walk down through Coumbs Wood & Bow Wood.

April 1, 2024,April Streak- On the hunt for bluebells 🪻

Started my April Streak off with a lovely hike up around Coumbs wood and into Bow wood. It was super wet and muddy, fell on my bum a record amount of times. First signs of bluebells are out.
