[pammosley]

Wonderful photos & walks on here folks!!
Saturday we had a trip to Millers Dale in the Derbyshire Dales. Beautiful countryside. Here are a few photos of the area, mostly taken by my friend with my camera

Hi Pam,

Is that first picture of the viaduct that gives the classic view of Millers Dale? I've been over it several times on the train back in the late 60s when I was at college in Matlock.

Hi Lyn, I guess it must be It was very high looking over, I wasn`t too keen 2 tracks ran side by side & also a run-off for the station I think. Great iron work. Here`s another photo taken by my friend. Hope it brings back great memories for you

Hi everyone, on Sunday we walked around 10 miles, starting at the village of Bidford on Avon we walked upstream towards to Barton then towards Welford on Avon, beautiful river scenery. From Welford we took paths over pastures towards Dorsington & then on the Heart of England Way back to Barton & then Bidford. Wonderful walk, & a nice pint at Barton Arms.

Right, I`ll try again Heres the photos to my last walk

Thanks very much for your help Richard. The Wasdale Head Inn sounds good. Aiming to get down before it turns too wintery so I'll post again and let you know how it goes.

Cheers!

Thanks, Pam! I've just Googled it and had a fascinating ten minutes reading it all through. I see now which is which in relation to the old station. Yes, good memories.

Not quite today, but two walks in the same area, first last Wednesday (14th), followed by one Sunday (18th).

Wednesday was a short stroll of 6 miles around the combes and included Minotaur Beetle burrows, Fly Agaric in a rather dishevelled state and good conditions for late afternoon, early evening photography.















Suday afternoon was 10 miles in a similar area and included the first flock of fieldfares of the year for me, more berries and the colours of autumn in a line of beech trees.















Have to get out and about while the ground isn't too wet underboot.

Some lovely scenery there Herd900rd. These pics are also late, this was Saturday.

The Clwyd hills are beautiful and deserted as long as you avoid Moel Famau where all the trippers and dog walkers go



That's Ruthin in the valley below:



And looking North towards the sea (you can just see the fort on the despised Moel Famau on the right...not a real fort by the way):



And here's an irrrelevant Lycoperdon foetidum I found up in the hills:

Thanks. I'll have to use an atlas to find the Clwyd Hills, they look like the Quantocks with an extra 800ft of elevation. Never seen a fungus like that one down here! Should be out walking later today.

They're on the menu again this morning. What better way to enjoy breakfast than sat on a log in the middle of the woods with a cuppa brewed using pine cones and freshly roasted chestnuts picked up an hour previously. There may be a variation on the menu this morning though, hoping for a some decent mushrooms as an accompaniment.

A four hour foray through Pamber Forest, near Tadley, Hampshire and it was nigh on a perfect autumn day:

Click on 'My Profile' (near top of page), then click 'Edit Options' (down the left hand side). Then scroll down and change the 'Default thread subscription mode' to 'No email notification'.

Well, that turns off emails for all threads you've subscribed to. I'm afraid I've forgotten how you unsubscribe from a particular thread, but I know it's possible.

Another brilliant autumn day for an excursion in north east Hampshire; this time over Yately Common:

[foxy mars]

All these photos are great, that I'm missing my walking and taking photographs. Reason working!!! and touch of flu last week, which is still lingering. anyway, moan over and hope to get out this Sunday walking in the Richmond area (North Yorks)

[LynM]

Inspired by woodland walks on here, I took myself to Cerne Abbas yesterday afternoon and had a happy hour wandering around the woods. Mostly beech, but some others too, but have to say that the Horse Chestnuts looked tatty rather than colourful when you got up close.

[tameblackbirds]

went for a stroll in the Wyre Forest Wednesday

the only two fungi we found

one of the many lovely paths and an old mill

thought this dead tree looked like it was dancing across the field

[Dinasaw]

Not actually today, but we had a breathtaking visit to Westonbirt Arboretum this week! Here are some pics of leaves, and yellow holly berries.

[cybershot]

Today it was back to my favourite haunt in Minley Wood taking advantage of the crazy weather patterns: Yesterday severe weather warnings; today perfect autumn sunshine.



(It was such a glorious day I also took in Pyestock Aisles/Fleet Pond between Farnborough and Fleet, and Caesar's Camp, Aldershot)

Some beautiful colours in the recent posts. Bet a lot of the scenes are a bit different now!

After the heavy rain of Sunday morning had cleared, I ventured to the coast at West Bay. Didn't walk very far! The beach was pretty much a no go area, so it was just on the new breakwaters and the sea front to the west.
