The Wye Valley Walk in Limekiln Wood in summer The vegetation is thick and verdant and the mud, after our wet summer, glutinous and, by turns, surprisingly sticky or conversely, slippy.

Path out of the top of Limekiln Wood A path / sunken way / gully, seasonal stream bed. To navigate it you need to be prepared to stride, slide, glide, crouch, mudsurf, leap, totter, lurch and lunge. And this isn't the worst bit.

Overgrown path Some motorbike scramblers come down or up occasionally and there was evidence of some foot traffic and animal use too. But for an average sized bloke the going is not easy; hawthorn, wild rose brambles and blackberry brambles make it hazardous and the hedges touch at chest and face height, necessitating a running crouch to make headway, coupled to ducking, swerving and diving. It is more akin to running the gauntlet rather than a stroll in the country.
