Autumn Stroll...

Sunday and i went another walk up around another old estate, I'm a bit early for getting the trees at there best autumn colour but that's good cause i would rather see them when cycling which i hope to be doing again (off road) by next weekend/
There is some lovely old trees on this estate near the old village of Gifford .these are the same woods where i made the Goblin Castle film...



I hope to cycle to it soon now the leaves are dropping and the view of it will be better.
Its a cracking trail into it and pugsley territory though is a bit soft going/
There is some nice colour in the trees here already...



There are a lot of mature trees here,including redwoods...

also Beech and  Oaks that date back 300 years.
These were once used for Royal Navy sailing ships. I  find trees fascinating. You look at 300 year old painting and the trees in them are still growing today, they see a lot of change...

There is a burn that runs down through the woods which meanders under a track with lovely old stone bridges...


I went to the old 15th century church...
,



The church is probably unique in having a dogs cemetery...


Down stream a bit i came across this big tree over the water about 6 feet up...


I thought about it making a cool bit to film riding over on the pugsley then thought better not try!,
it was bad enough walking over it as it started bouncing halfway across...

I did find some nice bits of trails in the woods here made by local dog walkers. Iwill come up in a couple of weeks time and do a bit filming. In the meantime here's some film for you too watch...
