Needed some fresh air today to do some work thinking and it was too cold and icy for risk-free cycling
So I did a nice 7km loop. Snowy and icy but the roads were dry and ok. Maximum temperature today was minus two

Another snowy walk here with few out in the cold wind. Sun broke through in places.

!2 miles of romping around the Langdale Pikes today - the snow was pretty deep up above 300m and by christ it was cold.
Lovely sunny day with some amazing Lakeland panoramas to feast our eyes on.
Comfortably weary and a lovely day out.

I’ve only just discovered this thread!
We went for a walk today, a total of 11 miles from home to the local country park, once around the lake, stop at the reasonably priced café for a bite to eat and then a steady walk back home.
Great walk, saw the odd rabbit and a few birds and found a golf ball (not that I’m a golfist but the kids thought it was good - like finding treasure). It was very cold especially around the lake. Walked on the settled snow on the way there and in the puddles left behind on the way back.

I only walk for 2 reasons...
To give the dog some fresh air..
or to get to the fridge...
Today it was the dog's turn...

Apart from walking the dog ( and nearly losing her ), I walked to my local bakery and back, all of at least 500 metres.

I did a great snowy walk yesterday with my wife and daughter. We're lucky to have fields and farmland close by and can enjoy the local area from our door.

Today, I drove a couple of miles to the World's End pub in Ecton to start my walk.
Heading across the Northampton Round, as it's called, I was hopping from tussock to tussock to keep out of the bullock trampled footpath.
Once through that, I decided not to use the tractor tramlines showing we're the footpath is, and walked around the perimeter of the field.
Sywell Reservoir. A nice place for a walk, but heaving at weekends and in the summer. Today was nice and quiet.
A few miles later, I found that the circular walk didn't quite complete the circle, due to drainage works. There was no way past it, so I returned the way I came.
The café was open, so an ice cream was purchased.
A pleasant 7+ miles.

A 10 mile walk from the house. Found a local village church was open (always locked when go past normally) and had a look round. Lovely stained glass windows and a wonderful organ. Still patches of snow and ice in places.

Took a walk around the local villages, nature reserve and found a couple of geocaches along the way. Bit of a wind for the first half of the walk which calmed down by the halfway point. The four of us have caught the sun too!

7.5 happy miles in the sun.
