We met up with Sandra and Colin plus their dogs, Pixie and Flossie, to set out on a walk from the village centre, past the Millenium Park and into open countryside. It was a walk based around the samll river Piddle and we were passing along age old droving paths and more modern bridle ways for the entirety of the route, 4.5 miles in total.
There was a great view of a very dark coloured fox, almost black rather than the more usual red, and sightings of quite a number of roe deer. Toward the end of the walk we heard what sounded like a hunting horn being sounded and true enough, away in the distance was a fox hunt made up of 20 or so riders including the traditional red coat.
They were too far from us to intervene in any way but they had no success in flushing out any foxes. Having the binoculars was very useful.
Once back at the pub we had a bit of lunch and a drink before heading home and an evening watching The Traitors.
