You wouldn't believe that this is a dug who has had a 16k #run this morning, 10k #walk over local hills, a #swim in the Teviot an numerous #frisbee sessions down from the office. My partner is away and I am not going to put him on to the phone when she calls 🤣
If I may be all ‘#pig in #shit’, & rather egoist (I’m not normally inclined to #toot pictures of myself), but there’s context.
This very #weekend last year I started to suffer symptoms that rendered me, days later, unable to #walk. #GuillainBarreSyndrome ain’t to be messed with. But for those of you currently going downhill fast by this oddity & seeing this, it can be defeated. Keep the faith! I may be holding a staff, but I don’t need it! Follow the #dog’s positivity and #kick GBS.
This weekend’s #walk has me ending up at the Thames Barrier again, just on the north bank instead of the south. Didn’t intend it, but it turns out that the Royal docks have gone from a wasteland to a commercial wasteland #London#Photo
Generate an image featuring a piece of iron, someone walking, and an egg. The scene is set outdoors with a paved road along which a Caucasian woman is walking, wearing a light hoodie and comfortable shoes. Beside her lies a piece of rusted iron, having an intriguing shape that stands out against the grey pavement. Nearby, nestled among the fresh green grass, an egg can be seen, it's smooth, white shell contrasting starkly against the vibrant grass.
The long #walk. Mile 15. Grrrr... Halfway and it's taken me 9 hours. Probably due to getting lost so much and finding so many flooded trails. I need to make up some time. Time to get serious about this #hike if I want to get home by 9PM.
The long #walk. Mile 10. Got lost again and didn't realize it until I'd done a lot of climbing. Free exercise! Also had to double back a lot because marked trails were under water. The picture with the geese? The map says there's a trail there. But it's all good because that meant I got to go off-trail and walk through fields of flowers.
The long #walk. Starting out 30 minutes before sunrise. Waking the Shirland Canal, looking down the mountain at the river. I can hear the rapids, it sounds like a freeway. It'll take me an hour to get to the rapids... And that's where the real #hike starts.
Right. Been a while since I did a lengthy walk thread, so here's yesterday's mooch on the moor, where I tried to visit as many of the archeoglcal sites as I could
8 miles
Fernworthy to Grey Wethers, via Assycombe.
First up, and only a short 30 minute trek from the reservoir edge, is the very pretty, Assycombe Stone Row.
It's nestled in a clearing, in the middle of the Fernworthy forest plantation, and feels like coming across a spot of magic.
It's probably Bronze age, although never been properly dated. And I sit to have my peanut butter sandwich at the monolith head looking down on the Combe.
