Walking from Barnoldby le Beck with Lunch at the Ship.

It was good to wake to a frosty morning today and it was with anticipation that awaited Brian to pick me up for our walk.  Parking at The Ship we set off past the church along the bridal way towards Bradley Woods.  By the church the snowdrops were in flower and a short way down the track were hazels with their 'lambs' tail ' catkins fully out.  The going was good along the track with any soft ground frozen.  Frozen puddles were an excellent opportunity to make abstract images.  The basal rosette of a thistle frosted with ice crystals also gave a good opportunity for a close-up image.We made such good progress that we had time to complete a circuit of Bradley Woods before heading back to meet up with the 'management' for lunch at the pub.
