Wet Places

Such a long dry spell at this time of year is an opportunity to look at the wetter places that have been affected by SWT's various management decisions. The path across Cowsick was affected by the damming of the old drainage channels and they only belatedly agreed to do something about the impact of this on access for walkers. It's still very wet leading to fears that in normal times few people will wish to walk this way. As can be seen even the slabs are wet.

The cattle have chosen to drink where the deer used to come. This was where you could get an idea of the deer traffic as they crossed over to the lower secluded slopes of Bole Hill. Now the cattle have predictably turned the whole area to mud.
