Upton, Averham Park and the River Greet, 13th December 2020

 



Eight VBR members and one visitor braved the wind and the rain on this walk starting at Upton Hall, the British Horological Institute, ...


 ...  before taking the road north towards Hockerton and through a rather muddy Cheveral Wood ...


... to reach Averham Park Farm, famous for its equestrian facilities, best viewed from the air.

We then dropped down back to Upton for lunch (or not as it turned out) at St Peter and St Paul's Church.

Field paths and better tracks took the remaining five of us and a dog ...

... to the River Greet and a glimpse of Upton Mill from downstream ...


Here's another view of the mill (now a private residence) and the embanked River Greet taken earlier from upstream.

And we though we had a hard time, but consider these camermen at Southwell Racecourse.
