Blackheath Ramblers
25km / 16 miles
6 people
That ancient railway track was worth the walk
A tunnel of green gave shelter from the suburbs
Gullege with its imposing lapidary facade
Marking the outskirts of the municipality
Limpid hammer ponds and sportfishing lakes
Shimmered in the cool light of the English sun
As the narrow footpaths slowly became degraded
Prickly and stinging vegetation grew around us
We bravely fought cross slaps of leaves
Tiny wriggling animalcules fell into our clothes
While we gained immunity from dreaded pollinosis
By numerous nettle stings which bit our legs
That day's summer cool was perfect walking time
Though we braved many hinderances on our way.
