l was difficult to get to the middle ford so I ended up at the last one after a pleasant ride through some woods. This also looked impassable but had an obvious bridge.

I tried to get to the middle ford via various footpaths but got to a point where I would have to take my bike over a stile and through a field of horses so decided to go the long way around and approach it from the other side. This was also impassable  and didn't look like it was used much. It had no obvious bridge but some walkers I spoke to had been told there was one.

Cooked a cherry tomato and feta flan in the evening that turned out OK. Posted an updated version of Sailors Daughter with the green screen bits of me playing guitar. Storm Alex arrived on Friday  (I think) so didn't do much during the day but did go for a swim. In the  evening had a greater Ounsley zoom call for James's birthday. They were going to the Finneston for a meal. Tom was going to Pirate Studios with Adam. Had a bit of a lazy day on Saturday due to the weather. Made tapas for tea which worked OK. I had organised the society walk on Sunday but quite a few people dropped out because of the weather leaving just 7. We decided to all go round together even though we would be technically breaking the rule of 6 as when you walk you tend to spread out and break into smaller groups anyway. Me and M had already done the walk with Kelvin, as described a couple of posts ago, but unfortunately we had a bit of a problem. We needed to cross a ford after about a mile but it was completely impassable.

I managed to walk round and get to the bridge by getting very wet but could see it was too deep on the other side. It was nearly 6 feet deep in the middle. We decided on an alternative walk on Greenham Common. None of us had been before except Lindsey had turned up once to join the protest and Margaret had taken a cake she baked for the protestors. If was quite interesting. We walked to on old control tower which is now a coffee shop and then made our way back.
