  • New Forest Ramble

    I’ve been meaning to go out with New Forest Ramblers for sometime – a bit of exercise whilst visiting mum. This week the weather, time and opportunity all came together an I was able to get out and do this short gentle walk. Company was great, as usual, and the weather was just right for most of the time – sun, with white puffy clouds and a gentle breeze.
    We stopped for lunch at The Oak in Bank – strange I’d only been there the year before for the first time – and I resisted the temptation to go and have a pint … still on a training regime :-).
    Lovely walk through the woods that flank the Bolder stream and Highland Water with Queens Bower nearby. Always a place with many memories for me.
    Haven’t been able to get the non-flash version loaded for some reason, so if you’re on an iPhone, you’ll have to click on the link below on a desktop, or laptop, computer.

  • Around The Graig

    Starting the fitness drive to enable me to manage more than a more to the pub on Arran; a short training walk from the front door ending up at the Farm Shop on Thornhill where I met up with Jenny and her former work colleagues – Sue and Jan with Tony (her partner).

    Although the weather was not brilliant, you could appreciate the views that were possible on a clear day and to think you can do this walk from the front door is a bonus – about 8 miles if I’d not got the lift home.
