No bells this month… just a fab 6 mile walk in the sunshine… Starting at 10:30am at Rilla Mill and included every type of terrain, stiles and usual obstacles and amazing views some mud. We stopped for a quick drinks break and then later for lunch at Henwood !

Always interesting what you see along the way 🙂

I grew up in Linkinhorne and pursuing my interests in flood management I have decided to complete my final project on flood management in the river Lynher catchment. I am looking for catchment residents who are interested, and landowners who’s land is adjacent to the river to complete a short, anonymous survey which takes no more than 5 minutes to complete.
    If anyone knows of any landowners who may be willing to participate in my data collection it would be much appreciated.

October Bells Walk Botus Fleming and Landulph


7 miles

LANDULPH Church

Caught in a quick hail storm, just before arriving at Landulph church, a warm welcome from Terry and chance to ring the bells and climb the tower, we left speaking Spanish .

Leaving Landulph we picked up footpaths down to Cargreen, up over and behind the solar array, the flooded road allowed us to clean any mud from our boots, before arriving at Botus Fleming church and Eric provided some interesting history including the Scout and Soldier and others buried there, again we were able to climb the tower and ring the 6 bells… an interesting chiming system as well.

We couldn’t pass The Rising Sun without popping in for a drink, and plan the next walk.
