| | Welcome to our newest member, jlr20058 | | |
Welcome to the Wild About Britain forums | | | | 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.  | A nice 12-mile walk in Oxfordshire yesterday. Starting at Goring-on-Thames, I walked mainly through woodland to the remote and charming village of Mapledurham, then followed a path parallel to the river, through Whitchurch-on-Thames back to Goring.

Surprisingly only got one fleeting glimpse of a Red Kite (saw plenty on the drives to and from Goring, though). I... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | Comments 0
 | | | Today I walked about 11 miles, in a big loop south from Stoke Row in Oxfordshire (where I also started yesterday). I didn’t really pass through any other villages, just touching on Exlade Street and Checkendon as I made my way back to Stoke Row.
It was a nice walk, on a very pleasant day weather-wise. Much of the walk was on bridleways, which were occasionally muddy but generally OK. A lot of the walk was in woodland, which I always enjoy, and there was a good mixture of woods too... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | | Nice 12-mile walk today from Stoke Row in the Oxfordshire part of the Chilterns. I'm usually a fair-weather walker (being retired I can choose which days to walk) but I chose to walk today despite the forecast saying there'd be heavy showers in the afternoon. In the event I had a soaking for about 20-25 minutes just before finishing the walk.
Followed a bridleway for some miles to the hamlet of Hailey, then followed a bit of the Chiltern Way for a mile or so. Then followed the Ridgeway... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | | A 14.5 mile walk today, through the Oxfordshire section of the Chilterns (I may have strayed briefly over the county boundary into Bucks, I’m not sure - but then not knowing which county I’m in is nothing, my friends often wonder what planet I’m on!).
I started at Watlington Hill and followed the road to Christmas Common (almost as delightful a place as the name suggests!). I then went south, down an ancient track and then through College Wood to Pishill. From there a path through... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | | I feel shattered now - this 12-miler was my first long walk for six weeks, and I’m obviously still suffering the after-effects of the virus. I’ve not felt so tired after a walk for a very long time.
From Cowleaze Wood, just north of Christmas Common, I headed west, soon spotting a treecreeper in the wood. I descended into the Wormsley valley, immediately spotting my first Red Kites of the day (I would see them almost everywhere throughout the rest of the walk). I followed paths and... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
