where did you walk today?

[ChrisJB]

I did an 8 mile circular walk today from Edale, in the Peak District, taking in Kinder Scout. I set off bound for Grindslow Knoll first and early on the sun was trying to come out. Alas when I reached the plateau the wind nearly blew me over and the mist came down. It was also very icy underfoot. By the time I'd finished and was enjoying a swift pint in the Ramblers Inn, the cloud was just lifting off the tops. Note the 'Pig's Yed' rock.

Not today, in fact clearly not even on the same day, but only two weeks apart in January. Had some cracking weekend walking weather so far this year



Hope everyone's well, by the way

Beautiful views Chris & Richard I went up to Ladybower in December but not for as good hike, it looks stunning up there..........one day.

It is lovely up there Pam, a trip along Derwent Edge is probably my favourite walk in the Peaks. On a summer's evening, you can pretty much have it to yourself

Yet another walk around Anston Stones Wood, perhaps only 3-4 miles in total but a really nice walk for a Saturday morning. Plenty of Carrion Crow, Blue Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Great Tit, Marsh Tit but also saw my very first Nuthatch (not been doing the birdwatching long) Also saw what I think was a Skylark - they're in the area and after a bit of googling would match up but couldn't focus the bino's quick enough to be sure! If it was, that would be another first for me

No pictures I'm afraid - saving up for a camera - ETA end of March

Last week I was walking on the beach, and along the marina at Barcelona. Wish I was back there

I walked from Abbotsbury along the Jurassic coast to West Bexington and back, then had a happy couple of hours in the Sub-Tropical Gardens. Weather was perfect! Still trying to find the Firecrests in the gardens, I know they are there, but the words needle and haystack come to mind!

Long time since i was down that way(late 1960's) Walked from Abbottsbury to Weymouth along Chesil Beach....must have been mad but I had to do it....am i right in thinking that walk is closed to public now?

[LynM]

Hi Jonquil,

The actual South West Coastal path goes inland, slightly, at Abbotsbury and runs on the inland side of the Fleet until it reaches Ferrybridge. It is possible to walk along parts of Chesil in that area, but not the whole length. It is definitely closed during the breeding season for the Little Terns.

It's very hard work to walk on the pebbles, especially as they get bigger towards the Portland end of the beach. Far too much chance of twisting an ankle for my liking!

Back to the Jurassic Coast again today. Making the best of the fine weather, I walked from Lulworth to Durdle Door and back, and then went to Stair Hole and Lulworth Cove. Some steep climbs on the chalk cliffs, but worth every step!
