On the first of July 1999 years 5/6 went on a river walk, following the course of the River Asker from Eggerdon hill toLoders.

We took the bus to Eggerdon hill and when it left us we looked for the sourse of the Asker.

Tim and Dale thought they knew where it was so we all followed them and after trespassing across a field, climbing over a fence and scrambling though a wood , we found the source of the Asker . Unforunately ,we couldn't follow it as it went underground, so we went back through the wood , across the field etc.

After we did that we had break and then we went down a path with lots of nettles and thorns.

We then trampled all through Askerswell and finally came to a field where we had lunch and played. We then set off past Folly cottage into a field and then in another and another and another.............!!!!!!

After a while we came to Wellplot where we had break and played in the river. We then came back to school, tired and muddy!
