Fabulous walk today, only 5 miles but included two golden eagles and a great view of a white tailed eagle. And two red squirrels for good measure. Took in Creag Bheag and Tom Baraidh.

Beginning to feel a little sharper in the Mornings on our walks 🐾 But still very-very pleasant indeed 😁
Infact; my recent Strava ‘memories’ from exactly a year ago accordingly: each day - showing nothing but wet / windy; and my Titles indicate it wasn’t very nice at all. So be pleased for that !
Found some new lanes / wooded tracks etc this Morning. And had to think about my inner compass as we went. All good fun 👍

Nippy morning today.. Foggy, too!
Still, Bonnie enjoyed stretching her little legs; as did I!
With a café stop for a tea for me and a free sausage for Bonnie.. 👍
4¼ miles in all: feeing warmer when we got home than when we started!

With my girl 🐾 sidelined with a Torn Tricep; I took the opportunity to do a longish one myself around the Town (Lowestoft) this Morning. Very pleasant it was too…..
Up at stupid o'clock to drive to Flash, the highest village in the Britain, apparently, for a solo hike that I'd planned on OS.
First place I wanted to see was Three Shires Head. Slightly mis-timed it as it was still dark 🤷♂️
Interesting place, though, and I intend visiting again (in the early morning to miss the ctowds!)
Still wearing my head-torch, I navigated myself to Ludd's Church, a place I've visited before. Once again I beat the crowds 🙂
Beautiful place to visit.. 😎
At least it was light by then!
The rest of the hike was through woods & fields with plenty of livestock to shoo out of the path.. 🐮
Slightly concerned about the double ended guardians of the gate! 😋
A tiny cow even stood atop my poles!! 😲
I did divert to Flash Bottom but there there was nothing there except a junk heap, sadly.. Not even a photo of a sign.
With a few diversions & a wrong turn, I ended up on 11¼ miles quite happy with the day even though it was cloudy and I never saw the sun ☀️

Yesterday's walk, as usual, was while I was at work..
Not a bad sunrise considering how cloudy it was!
One bright pebble amongst many darker ones.
Just under 3 miles but better than sitting in a truck after 3 hours drive there & the same back to the depot!

What a Morning for a decent Coastal hike. Just gorgeous……
Nippy walk this morning with Bonnie and Teddy the grandkids Bonkers Cockerpoo..
We stopped half way round for a bacon sandwich for me & free sausages for them 👌
4 miles walked though Teddy did an extra one meandering around things to sniff.

Great day with daughter and grandson yesterday..
Left home at 04:30 & drove through a weather front to park near Owler Tor. No chance of a sunrise view but at least the forecast was correct and it wasn't raining!
After Owler Tor, we found the footpath down into Padley Gorge, a stunning area that I've visited a couple of times before.
Breakfast, a Full English, was had at Grindleford Café before heading back up a really steep path to Lawrencefield, a place I've been so close to before but hadn't 'discovered' until I noticed it on a map I was checking out.
Masses of old millstones laying, abandoned, in the old quarry.
Yet another steep climb back up to the main road and car park..
Not a long hike but 11yr old grandson did well and was totally impressed with the area..
Final part of the morning (but with another surprise visit planned: see next post) we popped into Hathersage for a swim in the open air pool.. That's us jumping in 😂

Pt 2.
On the drive back, I thought I'd be nice to add another mile or so of walking to the day..
Lumsdale Waterfall & ruined mill, near Matlock, wasn't far off-route to the M1 so it was worth a look-see..
The top millpond.
Not Niagra but still lovely to see and hear..
The area has silly fencing around it, for some reason, but is ignored by everyone.
Even the padlocked access gate isn't padlocked 😂

Few from this Morning’s Coastal jaunt. Seriously hot this one….in November 😳
I stepped out of my Sons car at 6.35am when he dropped me off. And I seriously could have done the whole walk in a t-shirt……

Into town through woods and open fields, minced around for a bit and while this wasn't intended to be a shopping trip bought a few nice, arguably necessary things including a really nice sage green jumper from Uniqlo. Had a few nice casual interactions with folks, scored some heavily reduced battered cod in M&S and a wrap from the covered market before retreating back home along the tow path in the fading light of dusk.
About 8 miles give or take, which was enough.. this week's going to be busy so it looks like I timed this walk perfectly..
