Hike through the woods at Glen Tui

 

 


This was a wonderful piece of wilderness bush - slightly tamed in this area for people to go and explore and some steps had been put in where it was steepest. It was quite challenging for us oldies as steep with rocks and roots, but we survived. I have to say my new medication makes a big difference to my breathing :)


We were NOT on the Blowhard Track!




The trunks and branches of the trees were covered in a sooty mould but if I remember rightly it sustains Aphids which are milked of their honey few by bees. There were dozens and dozens of hives in fields just before the picnic site.



My friends Rosie and Ed.




A tree fern in its natural setting.



A little water-tumble rather than a waterfall into a stream we had to get wet feet crossing, as the big boulders designed to be negotiated looked a step too far for us old 'uns. 


Wild forest.  It was an amazing place to explore AND I got to hear the Bell Bird.
