The perimeter track leading uphill to Lingwell Gate is now much less of a quagmire, since the trees lining the stream have been cut down. Ref. [[1630654]]

The path improvements have now been completed with the laying of the hard surface. See [[2322201]]

Ref. my previous shot of the path improvements, see [[2440941]]. I thought the resurfacing was finished, but on top of the red shale, a layer of ground up building rubble is being laid, followed by a top layer of finely ground rubble, which will be compacted.

The European spindle (Euonymus europaeus), is a deciduous shrub or small tree also known as the common spindle. The capsular poisonous fruit ripens in autumn when the four heart-shaped lobes split open to reveal the orange seeds.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Ongoing improvements are being made to the paths around the nature park. This section has always been a mud bath in winter, made worse at present by the necessary machinery being used to carry out the improvements. Hopefully scenes like this will be a thing of the past once the work is completed. See [[2322200]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>The perimeter path does a full half-circle as you climb the hill. Passing through the gate you head south, to the left is Lingwell Gate Lane.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Following the perimeter path, the mud got deeper as we progressed. Not a good choice of route after heavy rain!
