13 people set off from Pirton village on a warm but cloudy morning. We walked
on a wide track for a mile past Tingley Wood and then down by the side of a
field and crossed the B655 to pick up the Icknield Way with Deacon Hill to our
right. We had a coffee stop on some convenient logs.

We then walked on towards
Telegraph Hill. A steepish hill opened out to fields then on to Little Offley
where we stopped for lunch sitting on a variety of bricks and concrete slabs at
a suitable height.

On past Wellbury House which is an orthodox Jewish school. We
passed paddocks and saw 6 beautiful foals - the ladies spent more time oohing
and aahing than the men!

Then crossing the B655 again and up a fairly steep
hill with great views at the top.

We rejoined the original track and back into
Pirton. We saw a variety of birds including kites, pheasant chicks , guinea fowl
and a heron. A varied 6.3 mile walk that everyone enjoyed.
