Walking From La Guerche

On Sunday 16 February the walking club outing left from La Guerche. Here are some photos of where we went.

Daffodils along the side of the old Roman road that winds up the hill to the plateau above La Guerche.

A gnarled old willow stump at the end of a small plot of old vines.

A group of mountain bikers crossed our path in a hamlet and we exchanged cheery greetings.

They chugged off up the hill we had just come down, through the forest on a dirt track.

A spring, with a very big old box tree beside it.

A small hamlet in a valley.

These beagles were not out hunting but were part of a pack being exercised in the forest by a huntsman and his young family.

Wild Primrose Primula vulgaris (Fr. Primavère).

Male Brimstone Gonopteryx rhamni (Fr. Citron) on 

Long-leaved Lungwort Pulmonaria longifolia (Fr. Pulmonaire à feuilles longues).
