One of our Eagle Eyes, who was looking at safety and noting any possible dangers, thought that this hole could be dangerous if anyone fell down it.
This lamb had just been born. The mother was licking it clean.
There were lots of lambs.
We walked on a very damp day and there were lots of puddles to watch out for.
We tried to respect our countryside and walk in single file across open fields.
The countryside has a lot of green fields and a lot of trees, many of them oak trees.
These pretty daffodils brightened up the countryside.
We were constantly aware of some of the dangers when walking, for example, barbed wire along the top of fences.
The trees in this wood have been coppiced. They are cut down and new trunks grow from the bottom.
The lane was very narrow so we walked in single file along the right hand side. We got into the verge if a car passed us.
This house on the junction is very old. It is called Devenden. Places ending with "den" got their names from the dens (camps) that the settlers used to make many years ago when they brought their pigs to eat the acorns from the oak trees.
This bank had pretty primroses growing on it.
This view over the High Weald showed us the patterns of different shaped fields and the hedges dividing them.
The high banks on both sides of the road meant that the track used to be much higher than it is now. It is called a sunken lane.
This tree would have been level with the track but it is now much higher that the road.
These ferns only grow where they are undisturbed for a long time. This is a clue telling us that we were walking along an ancient track.
A pretty stream held our attention for a while as we gazed into the woodland.
There is a dip in the ground here which probably used to be a saw pit. Two people would have held the enormous saw that was used to chop the trees up. One man would have been inside the pit.
This byway was extremely muddy and we enjoyed slipping and sliding.
The ground to the left of us was very steep. It was probably caused by a river running through.
It was very slippery but we didn't mind if we fell over because we were dressed up in waterproof suits!
This house is made of wood. It is called weatherboard.
We would like to use this walk in the future for sponsored events, fun runs, themed activites and so on. We would have to be mindful of all the hazards such as this pond!
When we saw the windmill we knew that we were not far from school.
This little track leads into the school field. We were tired but pleased that we had completed our Welly Walk. We look forward to walking it again in better weather!!
