A muddy bridleway It occurred to me as I took this photograph to wonder if anyone goes out taking geographs on horseback?  Some use a car, others, especially in urban areas, use public transport.  A motor cycle or bicycle is useful.  But on this extremely muddy bridleway, which runs westwards from New Road, Sundridge, Kent, a horse would have been the best of all.
