Another day is born - in this deprived part of the UK 🙄 Taking full advantage of a Sunny start - we took in the local woods and beach on our lovely Morning walk 👌

^^^^And while Strava might be good at logging your miles. Its new Ai / Intelligent feature appraising your activity afterwards - doesn’t seem too sharp at addition ! 🤣

After dodging showers and doing 2 x short and very uninteresting laps of the Estate AM and PM yesterday;
……this Morning was an altogether different day 😁
Gorgeous Autumnal start - slightly crisp, but no wind, sun out on our 6.30am ‘out the door’ (And very comfortable in shorts and t-shirt I was too) for a walk around the magnificent and local: Gunton Hall:

Just a short walk today with Crazy Nick, from Budby, across Budby Warren to the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, then back by a different route.
The area is much more restricted than 10 or 20 years ago, with fences either side of the marked paths to keep the lovely English Longhorn cattle from straying, but saddest of all is the state of the Major Oak; very few leaves on it, and they're all brown and shrivelled. It looks dead!

5 miles or so all in. Up and around the lovely Promenade of Los Alcazares, Murcia, Spain:
Local 3¼ miles yesterday..
Bonnie usually does an extra mile, though 😂
But slows down for the gate..
Boughton postbox with it's usual knitted cap display 😎
Apart from this one, it's only been shortish wanders around the area recently.
Better hike is planned for Friday, hopefully 👍

Exploring Cartagena City, Murcia, Spain this Morning. Little overcast at the start and approx 27c early doors. Rising to over 30c at the end. Which felt super sticky.
Lots to see, do and eat though…..😍

Went out to do a couple of miles. Ended up then being close’ish to the Beach. And the urge was strong. So ended up stretching it out a bit longer than intended. No great chore though ! 😉
Just got the opportunity to post Friday's hike in the Peak District..
Up at 02:00, as is usual, to drive 100 miles to Monsal Head to start my hike just after 04:30 with the idea of reaching Peter's Stone by sunrise. As it turned out, I was a bit early and, to be honest, it wasn't a spectacular sunrise anyway!
As the walk started of on a 1 in 6 hill down, it ended with a 1 in 6 hill back up 😂
No ice-cream at 04:45 sadly ☹️
Peter's Stone with the moon still high in the sky. I did want to climb to the top but the crevass looked a bit dodgy and, in a solo hike, dangerous, too!
Sunrise happened a mile or so later in Litton.
A pretty village with both pub & Post Office (closed @ 07:00)
Further on I met an otter (or summat) in Tideswell Dale
Pretty river through the wonderfully named Water-Cum-Jolly Dale.
The final view before getting back to the car; Monsal Viaduct from above.. I've ridden along it and walked under it but this was the first time from this angle!
Time to brew a coffee before heading to Ilam for a few miles on the Brommie thence heading home via the A50 & M1.
10 miles hiked in slightly chilly and quite breezy but clear skies weather.
Mist enjoyable 😊
