I thought of titling this 'The path not taken', echoing Robert Frost's 'The Road not Taken' but without the allegory. I misread the map, misread the ground and missed a missing field boundary. I struggled over barbed wire-topped fences and a stream, twice, to get further along the field when I could have simply walked along by this hedge (and said hello to the horses). It was a fine warm September afternoon.
The wooded rising ground in the distance is Close Wood, believed to be part of the Packington estate.
