Week 2 of 6 in Clyne Valley with Actif Woods led by Andrew Price. The rain stopped as we started and the sun shone for the rest of the morning. A glorious Autumn day in a fascinating area. We explored the west side of the valley, taking in:
The Ivy Tower – once a flue for the arsenic works.
Andrew imparting pearls of wisdom to the group. He’s a mine of information and story.
A discarded dram, now covered with ivy.
An abundance of acorns. It’s a mast year when trees produce an abundance of fruit. Other years the quantity can be much less.
Old deer fencing.
Star moss.
