9 miles...(pics!)

...not a rub from the new boots, barely a twinge from the banjaxed hip/knee, lovely weather and a very well behaved spangle!

We're off!

Loads of berries in the hedges

Negotiating the styles

One day, this house will be mine

And so will this view on all four sides of it

Time for a snack

And a route check

Past the ponies and through the churchyard

 

[Spudlet]

Over the fields and down the farm track

Someone has had his head where it does not belong...

Now down the footpath and over the bridge

Not much of a hay shortage here!

Back to the fields we know

And home!

Thanks for looking

Lovely.......boots! If I can be cheeky...what make? I'm after a new pair....

Looks like you both had a fab day and Henry's map reading skills are most impressive I would still be stuck in the bramble bush though...can't resist the buggers

Lovely pics, looks like you and Henry had a fabulous walk Are those Brasher boots? Or did you get different ones in the end? Very glad they were so comfortable, new boots are always a nightmare!

PS - that is straw BTW not hay

Hehe, I'm liking Henrys journey in pictures! Looks like a great walk, glad you managed to find the worlds first pair of walking boots not to rub your feet raw on their first outing!

**Blows a raspberry at Carey** whatEVER!

They are Berghaus boots (think they are called Explorer GTX), couldn't find the Brasher ones I liked but these are lovely And so they should be, for they cost an arm AND a leg! They were very comfy, although I did have a load of blister plasters in my rucksack just in case

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Ooooo very nice, I like Berghaus It is worth paying for quality (and no blisters!) you see

 

[Spudlet]

I can't afford to eat for the rest of the month, but I think they are worth it

On another note, Henry has just been having one of his little moments, rolling about on the floor, kicking the rug up and growling like a nutter What do I have to DO to make this dog TIRED?

Aw love the map reading pic! Looks like a great walk and nice boots but need a bit of mud thrown at them methinks!

Meh, jealous, dying to get out on a big proper yomp. Feels like it's been ages between weather and work
Lovely pics

 

[Spudlet]

They are highly shiney aren't they? Still, they won't be forever

CC, it was great, get out there. Get in the car and go to the mountains - you can't be that far away, NI is tiny!

I don't have to drive, I live on the side of one just working funny shifts so can't go for as long or as far as I want to this last couple of weeks plus it's blowing a gale
