A pleasant walk for a pleasant afternoon – clear air and a bit of sunshine. It’s a steep pull up to the golf course (but where were the golfers? “Perhaps it’s close season?”). Once above the valley, the views are extensive to the north, less so but perhaps more attractive to the east.

*Batch Valley is (of course?)  tautological… In these parts, a “batch” (would be a “beach” a little further west) is a valley. But we’re not complaining – it’s a lovely spot, whatever it’s called.
