Compton Wynyates (Windmill Walk)

On Saturday morning I said to my Dad lets take the dogs out. It took us a while to get out here because of ice on the roads and at one point on the drive down the car did swerve a little but we arrived in one piece to take this walk. We went through a gate and then along a grass track with bushes and trees on both sides and came to a stile where we climbed over and the dogs got through a gap between the fence post and gate post. after a look round there where 4 gates around us and we carried on straight ahead following the track and after a short walk we saw another gate and stile but there's a fallen down fence which we stepped over and saw an old barn on the over side of the fence so we couldn't get any closer. We carried on and went up 3 stair cases and the windmill started to appear and when we got to the top of the stairs we where breathing heavily because the hill is a bit steep and the stairs are quite high. We walked along the edge of the hill through a small but spacious clump of trees. We then went through another gate. We got to the windmill and looked round at the view there was a brilliant view all around us looking back at where we came from you can see Compton Wynyates house and in the other direction you can see hills and forests (The view is better then what I can write). We then walked back to the car.
