a few pics from todays wander in Clumber park, these were taken in the area between the classical bridge and the Carburton lodge entrance, the weather was quite dull today but there are some nice colours around,
the only downside to the walk was the puppy finding some fox poo and rolling in it

, it was a trip home with all the car windows down, despite the cold wind, and bathtime for the puppy in which we all got a soaking

this is the view from the classical bridge looking towards the gothic chapel.

and this one shows the chaps hard at work on the repairs to the classical bridge, (and what an excellent job they are making of it)

They ALWAYS find fox poo, don't they? Disgusting smell! Glad that you had a good walk though!

you are right about the smell, although the pup seemed quite pleased with himself

Another shortish local walk for me today, a circular route from Studham Common to Markyate, returning via Roe End. It was a grey but mild morning, about 10C.

Track leading from Studham Common towards Roe End

Footpath to Markyate

Looking back towards Roe End

Path through Great Bradwin's Wood

I heard and saw a skylark as I crossed Studham Common. The only other wildlife sighting was a Buzzard, very high in the sky as I approached Markyate.

We walked in South Shields Marine park after we left the beach this morning as we still had a little time, before work.

Been out with the local rambling club, today. Did 16 miles, started from Clay Bank - Urra Moor - Bloworth Crossing - Incline - Battersby - Kildale - Lonsdale - Highcliff Nab - Guisborough. Weather was fine, sunny with a slight cool sw wind. Conditions underfoot were dry on the bridleway, but slighty wet and muddy on the field paths. Very enjoyable day.
