Wobbly Brewery is closer to Wyeside, beer is unfailingly better, stronger, yet cheaper. Instead, we have all these nancy boy rugby followers pissed up on two pints of WV HPA.

Wobbly Brewery is closer to Wyeside, beer is unfailingly better, stronger, yet cheaper. Instead, we have all these nancy boy rugby followers pissed up on two pints of WV HPA. Let's face it that great "artist" Brian Hatton was never going to pitch his easel along that mundane stretch of the Wye which, sadly, fails to flood the rugby pitch often enough: he was always traipsing upstream even further away than a John Watkins boot. ARTIST Brian Hatton is the inspiration for an easy 5 mile walk along good footpaths this month. Whilst the left bank of the Wye and the backcloth of Breinton are familiar to many, we’re paying homage with a difference. The route takes you to locations where Hatton is thought to have conceived some of his pictures.
The pastoral milieu which Hatton was trying to capture just before the Great War often embodied hard and monotonous work for the families who laboured in the fields. Agricultural labourers were still amongst the poorest paid of all workers, and Gypsies, some of whom camped near Green Lane close to point (4) on the walk, supplied the surrounding farms with seasonal workers. Influenced by French artist Millet, Hatton explores the theme of the noble peasant and the dignity of labour. Much of his work also empathises with the strength and muscularity of working horses, susceptible to requisition in the war, and the harmony of man and beast working together on the dark red Herefordshire soil.
The Route.
1 Start from Breinton Springs car park, GR 473 397. Leave park via kissing-gate, TL and and walk up bank to right of churchyard. Go through k-gate along path at foot of (old) Rectory garden. (Portraits of theLushingtons). Continue beyond orchard (L) and go through k-gate, into pasture. (Broomy Hill
water tower one mile ahead betokens Hatton home and studio).Follow R edge/hedge for 200m to go through k-gate (R), and reach London plane and Turkey oak in front of Warham House ha-ha.
2 (The Lawns, Warham, oil painting of trees planted to enhance the view from Warham house towards Belmont). Bear R down bank and TR through k-gate, below. Through gap after 50m is view L eastwards towards pumping station suggestingFields By The River at Warham, and Wye Bank at Warham, oils. Carry on ahead through K-gate and TR upstream along riverbank. Go through k-gate, and about 200m beyond Belmont Golf Clubhouse, on opposite bank, reach location for The Wye at Belmont, oil. Continue through k-gate by information board and bear R, through gateway up bank, through k-gate back into car park.
3 Breinton Springs car park. Keep ahead along lane to R of Breinton House, where bear L through k-gate along path L of tennis court, through 2 gates on to lane at Breinton Court. (Portraits of wealthy middle class occupants and in-laws, including Lady with Pearls in a White Dress, Brenda Wadworth). Keep ahead on gravel path L of Breinton Court Lodge through k-gate (L). TR along R edge/hedge of crop field up Church Walk.(Evening at Warham – a Gypsy Woman working in the field, anoil looking south-west towards the Black Mountains). Cross stile, road and stile and head up L edge/fence (orchard other side). (Drawings of Working Horses, Harrowing in Watercolour, Ploughing in oil, and studies of gypsies all probably conceived on the higher land to the right). Go ahead through 2 gates to Wyevale Wood. (“Green Lane” Wood on OS).
4 Wyevale Wood - loop. (Two Guns in a Wood with Dog). TR along lane and just past Upper Hill Cottage, TL through unwaymarked gate into Wyevale Wood. Follow R perimeter, with views north to Credenhill, and pass bird hide (over to L) back out of wood. TL 30m.Now TR past Green Lane Caravan Park and Cranstone to road junction.
5 Go straight ahead across road through wooden gate up R edge/hedge of crop field. Bend L at top. Go through gate in bottom R corner, cross stile and bear L in orchard. Go further L up bank across stile. Follow L edge over 2 more stiles into trees, then TL over stile and TL thro’ adjoining gate. Bear R up R edge/hedge and through metal gate. (Views now across full landscape of “Hatton” country, eastwards, oil: Study towards the Malverns. Behind, westwards, oil:Harvesting towards Moorhampton). Bear L down pasture through gate and down bridle path.
6 Upper Breinton. Pass to R of Breinton Manor complex. (Portrait of George Marshall, prominent “Woolhopean”).At road, TR past Manor Cottages. (Redolent of cottages depicted in various horse studies). At road junction, TR for Breinton Common but 10m before R bend at Wyecliffe House, TL off road up steps through gate. Follow lower R edge of pasture. (Possible scene for The Skylark, pastel drawing of 1906, with pre-raphaelite influence). Cross WVW stile, R edge of crop field and exit through (original) k-gate.
You're welcome. Attachments:

You're welcome. You pitch a tent, an easel is "set up" Rugby pitches (plural) there are two. As for Brian Hatton, he was a great admirer of said Wye Valley, being the famous Hereford Pastoral Artist. Otherwise, not bad.

Is that with, or without, socks?

Back on topic ... Very sad to see what is happening at wuss. Could be just the first given wasps situation. Clearly a knock on effect for glaws (excuse the pun) and the rest of the premiership and glaws can kiss goodbye to the compensation due from last seasons missed fixture,,, I was really looking forward to this season and intended to take my place again in the shed after a very long absence ..at the game v wuss which may not happen now ... I also intend going to the street again and boosting the crowd on the len Weston terrace 😉😁 fwiw I won’t be taking alcohol at either venue as I like to be able to watch and remember the game 😉
