TR October Day 14

Another overcast day. With all the talk of a photo competition and autumn colours, I decided to go
to Clyne Gardens in Swansea, home of many exotic plants and trees. Not the sort of place I usually
go to, but I didn't want to travel far and there seemed a good chance of having some interesting
colours to photograph.

It was pleasant enough, and there were a few nicely coloured plants and trees to point the camera
at, but it was difficult to take any photograph without having a path or something in the picture to
give away the fact that it was not natural (not that Japanese Red Cedars and suchlike are natural
here anyway).

A few reasonable "park" type shots, but nothing really wild or natural. Not my kind of photographs.
A blue sky appeared through some interesting clouds though, but no sunshine reached the ground.

Distance: 1.6km, Ascent: 60m, Effort Rating 2.2, Duration 1 hour 12 minutes.

We are getting nice sunshine here in the East. Isn't the wind blowing some over for you?

Oi! You forgot the link again!

Following the normal pattern brings up the dreaded 404 so you obviously haven't uploaded it yet :-(

Give it up Paul. You've had enough haven't you. Stay in bed tomorrow and order in Pizza.

60m of ascent! We can only dream of such things over here in Lincs. Do you have to taunt us?

Ahhh, Clyne Gardens, I know the one. Did it have its Green Flag flying?

I'll look forward to seeing your photo - how dare you post a trip report with a photo! )

There are hills here Graham. I was up and down Harmston Hill the other day. A round trip to the
Royal Oak at Aubourn. Quite tough cycling up. So I drove,

But then the sun came out to play!!!

This project is actually quite tiring. I don't think it's the walking that's making me so tired, I
think it's all the time spent doing the web pages afterwards...

Taunt? 60m ascent is a valley walk in Swansea. I just followed the stream.

Yes, the fearsome Lincoln Edge, no wonder you drove. I went over Waddington Hill myself today.

A Green Flag Award - it's like a Blue Flag Award for beaches, only the Green Flag Award is the
national standard for parks and green spaces, though nobody has heard of it! ) Clyne Gardens and
Botanical Gardens both won them last year...

Yes.

I've just seen it, thanks, but your main contents page hasn't been updated yet.

Only joking. If I followed the beck that runs through the village I might get 0.6m of ascent
though! :-(
