17th December Walk Photos

Another beautiful day with clear blue skies and very little wind. But when the sun starts to go down it gets chilly very quickly. A slightly shorter walk this time, just 8 miles.

Here's the view looking towards Longfurlong. The long dark shadows of winter are very noticeable.

This is Patching Pond where our walk finished.

3rd December Walk (No photos!)

Immediately preceded by gale force winds and torrential rain, we started out wondering what was in store for us. As it turned out we needn't have worried, after the first half hour it remained dry for the rest of the walk with plenty of sunshine – but we didn't lose the strong winds.

Let's hope next time the weather will look more promising before we start out.
