Summary

Saturday 3rd March, the weather was quite good so we walked into Saltash for lunch (pasties) then continuing down to Lower Fore Street, where we finished our pasties and then went for a walk halfway across the Tamar Bridge, then back again. We then went down to Saltash waterfront to sit with the swans and pigeons for a little while, before deciding to head back home.

Tuesday 6th March, the weather was good again so we walked to Forder for some photography. We set out after lunch, the first part of the walk was mostly road walking. Once we got to Forder, we looked for some ducks to feed, but only found two, which weren’t all that interested, so we continued walking across a grassy field. Here we saw some birds flying around, which were probably buzzards. There were about 5 of them all together in the sky, flying around and calling. We continued walking over the grass to a small trail in the trees. We walked through to the end, took some photographs and decided to head back to the other side of Forder Creek, where the sun was shining. The trail on this side of the creek much longer than the one on the other side, so we killed a lot of time walking through here. The trail was muddy, but gorgeous none the less. We followed this right out into a clearing where we got an amazing view of the Forder Railway Viaduct. This was more towards the bottom of the hill, so we walked to the top, where the view all around was even more amazing. Up here, we took some photographs again, even though the conditions weren’t great for it, and even saw a rabbit. Eventually, we headed back down the trail towards Forder. As we neared, we saw a single Cormorant sitting on a boat, which made for a good photo opportunity. As it was getting late, we just headed straight home.
