ToggleThe clue
I thought we’d go for a mild amble beside a river. It flows past a park at the western edge of this little city and appeared the best put to stretch our legs in advance of supper at a area cafe. It is just one of the stars of this county’s outstanding gastronomic scene.
But my buddy had other tips.
“If we’re going for a slap-up supper, we’ll will need to work up an urge for food,” he introduced. So he marched me straight by means of the park, across the river and about what appeared — to my unexercised legs — a steep-sided ridge. On the significantly facet we visited a small physique of secluded water (“bright as heaven”, in accordance to a well known community poet) right before turning south to cross a 2nd river, flowing west to east. Until finally 1974 it was the boundary concerning two counties.
We continued southwards. By now my temper was black, which was fitting, supplied the terrain we hiked. But I cheered up when we attained a landscaped location of trees and h2o secured by the Countrywide Trust. It was not the relationship with a children’s author that cheered me. It was the expertise that, in the previous mining village two miles southwest of it, we could catch a bus back again to our starting off position.
In the village Close friend pulled two pairs of schooling footwear from his rucksack.
“What now?” I gasped.
He pointed to the top of a tall hill that shares portion of its identify with the village. “Isn’t it noticeable, Old Guy?” he suggests. “We’re heading to make like the locals and operate to the leading.”
The only functioning I did was to the 505’s bus cease.
The issues
1. What is the name of the second river?
2. What is the title of the space of woodland and water?
