Poop!  The link doesn't work for me.  :(

I'm sorry about that. :( I don't know how to fix it.  It still works for me.

Last weekend, Tin and I (and all our most important others) walked from Painswick to Slad, in the Cotswolds, and back again.  Slad was the hometown of the writer, Laurie Lee (1914-1997), who wrote Cider with Rosie and other books.  We spied what was his house there, where he grew up, which is still just a private home now - so although we wanted to go up & peer in the windows, we didn't.  And we had a drink in what had been his local.

Today, DH and I did a walk close to home that ended at a pub, one of those purported to be the oldest in England:  the Bingley Arms in Bardsey, West Yorkshire.  After doing a bit a t'internet research, there are lists of various pubs out there - seems the oldest proven one is 'Ye Olde Fighting Cocks' in St Albans, quite possibly followed by the Bingley Arms.  :)

Steve and I did a bit of walking on the Southwest Coastal Path when we were on holiday in Cornwall recently - beautiful views, but gaaaaah - it was hard walking, for me.  My fitness is way down from a couple years ago.  So we're starting to work & build it back up again.

Here are some of his photos from the Southwest Coastal Path:

Kiberick Cove


Parc Caragoose Cove


Portloe

ETA:  Oh yeah, and have decided I need new boots, again!  Well this was all so new to me & I never realised your boots are actually supposed to be about a size bigger than what your ordinary shoe size usually is.  So although my boots are in my size and fit fine for a shoe, my toes keep jamming at the end on any sort of downhill...and after our whole Welsh mountain climbing disaster last August bank holiday, my big toenails are finally growing in again all nice & pink & healthy...so new boots (ouch!) it'll be, I think.

Fabulous photos!  It makes me want to get straight out there on the coastal path - steep, slippery slopes notwithstanding.  The views make it all worthwhile.  [smiley=heart.gif]

PB, I'm glad because Tin and I were beginning to wonder if we were the only ones!

I walk the dunes when the weather is nice... does that count? We went on a walk last Saturday on Warkworth Beach and it was lovely, though coming back uphill to the carpark was not.  :P That was only about an hour's walk, though. I like walking the dunes between Amble and Hauxley, which is really just about a mile or a mile and a half away, but it's a heck of a walk and feels much, much longer than that. I usually go during low tide and hop rocks on the beach until I get to Hauxley, then struggle through the dunes on the way back. It's a good workout.  ;)

I'm super excited because we are going to be up in the Loch Ness area over the bank holiday weekend and I intend to find a nice walk around the loch.

Tons of gorgeous walks. I've done probably 2/3 of the ones around Loch Ness, mostly the easy ones  ;D
