I already have my own blog (accessible from my web site) which describes the walks that I go on - I generally walk 12-15 miles, two or three times a week, all over Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and the southern part of Oxfordshire. Here on my WAB blog I will just comment on the wildlife that I see on my walks. I love being out in the countryside and enjoy seeing all types of wildlife, but I am especially interested in birds and wildflowers.
Wendover Woods and Wigginton
Posted 26-12-2007 at 02:02 PM by Pete Collins
A four hour walk today, starting from Wendover Woods about 9.40. Saw some Jays as I walked back along the drive through the woods, then got a glimpse of a Muntjac deer as I passed the mountain biking centre on Aston Hill. Went downhill through the woods, across a broad valley and then uphill quite steeply through more woods to Hastoe (highest village in Hertfordshire). Went through part of Tring Park to reach Wigginton. Turned round there and came back a diferent way, following the course of an ancient earthwork called Grim's Ditch for three or four miles - mainly on footpaths, but partly along a lengthy farm drive and partly along a lane. Saw a Yellowhammer somewhere along here. I eventually joined the route of The Ridgeway National Trail, which I followed to the edge of Wendover. I then made my way back into the woods and over Boddington Hill back to the car park in Wendover Woods.
My bad back was a bit sore today - my own fault, I never should have tried immitating Mark Ramprakash's shoulder shimmy on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special last night!
