Medway Valley

Thanks a lot to all of you who have made my hikes with TVTA so pleasurable and stimulating! Thanks to the hike leaders, their knowledge and skill, which meant that I did not have to study the route. Thank you for helping out when it came to selling off our worldly belongings before we have to go home again.   I will remember TVTA fondly and carry your badge proudly.

24 hikers met at the Eastern end of Gainsborough Road on Thursday to traipse up and down Medway Valley Heritage Forrest. We also passed Brescia College at one point - the wheat now harvested which grew there not so long ago.

Duck or jump?

Medway Creek

Fungus on wood

There seemed to be even more wildflowers out than before: striking Goldenrod, starry blue Chicory, small white daisies, little pink Wild Sweet Peas and many more.

A plant of the Salvia family, probably Blue Vervain

A good example of Poison Ivy - don't touch.
