where did you walk today?

[Richard G.]

Aye, where've you been Sunny, missed your reports...?
I can get even now and tell you to get off your backside and get out with your camera

Short drive down into the White Peak for me yesterday to walk Parkhouse and Chrome Hills, you won't find a better pair of hills in the Peak, IMHO. What they lack in height they make up for in stature and can make for a challenging day out.

Weather turned out well for me too, after an indifferent start, that's two cracking weekends in a row, I'll definitely pay for that soon

Sounds like you need to book yourself a nice weekend break

Upper Derwent Valley today, around Derwent and Howden Reservoirs. Mostly in support of Mrs G. who has managed to get her name down for the Manchester Shine marathon on May 1st, so she's trying to get in some road walking training.

Beautiful walks & photos Pete & Richard.
Today we went to the Malvern Hills. Beautiful day, but I`m so out of practice at hill walking Very tired now
We started off around the British Camp, a Hill Fort, the Herefordshire Beacon.

View from the Hill Fort looking North towards the Worcestershire Hills. We walked up these in the afternoon.





Round the Fort & down past the cave, through the woods towards the Monument.



I was pleased to see my first Wood Sorrel of the year in flower & this posing Crow. We also watched the Ravens & a Buzzard displaying



Then after a picnic onwards & upwards onto the Worcester section..........not all of it!
We took a lower path back through the woods, a lovely round trip

I will do soon Richard. I've been having a bit of a tough time over the last few months but I'm getting there, slowly.

Pleased to hear you're missing me though......or rather, my photos!


Lovely shots of Chrome & Parkhouse BTW. It's great fun running up those two!

Sundays walk for me was with friends from Ladybower Reservoir up on to Howden Edge and round. Just over 13 miles with a chilly breeze blowing. Great views around towards Kinder and lots of wildlife. Plenty of Red Grouse, a Raven and a Mountain Hare, with Tits and Nuthatch down by the reservoir.

Cleeve Woods near Wellow Somerset.Most of it is conservation area so limited access. Took the nearby track to Norton St. Phillip Past field,pond and brooks.A 4 Hour round tour with a stop for rolls,goodies and water. Many Birds,flowers, insects and a couple of Squirrels seen.Also a carp half eaten by a pond.Possible Otter action.

Near bye Camerton Woods today.Lots of Lesser Celandine and Violets.The Violets are spreading through out the wood.3 years ago only one patch seen.The Wood Anemone was out in full. Squirrels seen scampering the branches.Buzzards were circling overhead.Leaf buds on most of the trees now.Arums coming up all over the place.Only one patch of Wild Garlic in the shade.So all in all it was a good 2 hour amble through......

I haven't checked this thread for a bit, so it's great to see the 'Dragon's Back' and it's neighbour. Chrome and Parkhouse Hills are tremendous. Seeing these photos, I can't wait to climb them again.
And the lovely looking Malverns. I've looked longingly at them many times as I've driven past, but never walked up them. One day perhaps.
