Clare Glens

This morning we braved the rain and went off to Clare Glens where there is a river running through a small gorge. There is the official walk along the top edge of the gorge, but of course we were much more interested in the path along the edge of the river.

The river was quite full. Of course it’s spring and we’ve had rain for the past couple of days so the water was running fast. This didn’t deter us. It simply made the adventure a little more risky and all the more fun.

The rocks were a little slippery in places and there was a lot of mud. Surprisingly nobody fell, but we all came back with muddy shoes and pant legs – proof of the fun we’d had.

The rain added to the beauty of the river. There was so much moss on the rocks and trees and it all sparkled emerald in the rain. The leaves have really been popping the last few days with all the rain. I’m so glad that we didn’t miss spring this year.
