Tracey, that brought back memories. I haven't been to Lathkill Dale since the mid seventies.
I was in North Wales at the weekend, and came across these: 
The farmer had put up a sign saying they were Asian water buffalo. Has anyone else seen similar? |

Alnwick - Lesbury - Longhaughton - Craster - Dunstanburgh Castle - Embleton Bay - Embleton.
16 Miles.
1229' Ascent.
A throughly enjoyable day in an area I've never walked, apart from a week's cycling tour in 1985. I can recommend the coastal path and do visit Craster, which is famous for it's Smoked Kipper's.
Longhaughton Steel 
Craster Kipper Factory

Alpacas are becoming increasingly popular, I've seen them in small numbers in numerous places and come across a couple of places where they are 'farmed' (one place near Goring in Oxfordshire has hundreds of them!). I've seen Llamas a couple of times too. There's an ostrich farm near Chesham, and I came across a Wild Boar farm once.
I won't include all the animals I see from one of my local footpaths, which runs along the side of Whipsnade Zoo! |

Some lovely pictures as usual! I have had a few lovely walks recently but for some reason I can't upload photos to the image library, but when I can I'll post a few!

Hi All,
I feel really jealous looking at all that beautiful scenary.
Where did I walk today?..... From Bristol Temple Meads train station to the office  !!
Day off tomorrow, so a lovely early morning run around the park, then followed by a walk with my dog Lacy.
Maybe I'll post some pics.
Regards

Today I took a walk along the River Yarrow which flows through Chorley in Lancashire before it with several other rivers joins the Irish Sea. This morning was remarkable for over 65 rooks feeding amongs cattle. Less remarkable was the huge flock of Black Headed Gulls in the next field.
The usual suspects were in evidence, Blackbird, Blue Tit, Greenfinch etc but I was back home, where my garden feeders seem to be sucking in the birds from the surrounding countryside, before I saw much more. There's been 13 or 14 species on the feeders culminating with a flock of around 16 Goldfinches. What's the group noun for a flock of Goldfinches?
Having a fancy for an apple and blackberry crumble this evening I gathered enough from the hedgerows to satisfy my craving for something sweet. I'll be making that myself as I my nearest and dearest thinks I'm better at it than she is. Bless. She's wrong though, she cooks nearly everything far better than I can. ( Do I get brownie points for that?)  | | | |
