Walk 9 - Wetton

4.5 miles 2pm - 6.30pm. Another incredibly hot day and a plan to walk mostly in woods (it makes for more interesting walking anyway!) We set off out of Wetton across beautifully sunny, green fields, down a steep hill toward the Manifold trail where we picked up the thankfully tree lined trail all the way to Wetton Mill and the river there. Some ice cream was eaten at this point and we made our way back slowly, uphill and through woods and fields back in to Wetton. The things we saw and named on sight were: Cherry, Hawthorn, Sycamore, Ash, Birch, Willow, Elder, Beech, Oak, Hazel, Holly, Sloe (?) Common Alder and BlackthornTrees. We saw (or heard) Crows, Sparrows, Sky Lark, Wagtail, Chiff Chaff, Robin, Pheasant, blackbird, tree creeper, curlew and Swifts. We later ID'd the big dandelion like plant as Goat's Beard.
