2014 Pattingham Bells cross country race Emerging from The Beeches spinney, on a cool but bright October morning. The race started life 25 years ago to help raise money for the restoration of the Pattingham church bells, and having achieved that aim, is now a popular event on the local running scene. It's great fun, to boot.

Ploughed field north of Pattingham in Staffordshire Beautifully ploughed, in an area still surrounded by well maintained woodland. I wonder if the spuds have already been planted.

Bridleway, Wrottesley Old Park, Staffordshire This bridleway is a beautiful walk. It is wide, "green lane" in appearance, and in several places shows signs of having had the surface strengthened with medium sized rounded stones.

Pheasant, Scott's Bank Plantation, Staffordshire I was lucky when I shot this one....WITH THE CAMERA!! I can't say I was especially glad to see the ejected empty shotgun cartridges left lying around by the recent "sportsmen".

Bridleway and farmland near Wrottesley in Staffordshire The cereal crops are growing well, and the woods ring with the call of pheasant. The weather has been dry for a while and the track is breaking up into very fine sand, creating dense clouds when farm vehicles pass. Wrottesley Lodge farm buildings are at the end of this track, which is a bridleway.

Lane/Public Footpath, near Nurton, Staffordshire This well surfaced (cul-de-sac) lane is actually signposted as a public footpath!
In fact, it acts as a private access road to several seriously desirable detached residences in extensive landscaped gardens.
