You learn to love it..!

Do you remember the first time we went to Swallowhead Spring in the torrential rain and force 10 gales, through the boggy field and through the stream... only to be thwarted by the fact that we were the wrong side of the river? Me and Mrs G were going to wade across if you weren't there! Silly sods. When we went back, we found the really easy dry path that leads right to it... :o)

Yes...a bit damp that day but the next time was a tad better: http://milouvision.fotopic.net/p6985519.html

Yeah... I made the same mistake once (approching the Swallowhead from the wrong side). How things change though - was on the new bridge leading up to West Kennet a couple of weeks ago and the Swallowhead Spring is now signposted!

Anyone know if the new path up to WK is permanent? (I kinda liked the old single-file track). Hope that if the new path is going to be permanent they have plans for hedge-planting because the walk up to WK and back is a bit bleak at present.
