Worbarrow Bay
A beautiful walk from the ghost village of Tyneham, across M.O.D land – accessible most weekends after public pressure applied in the 70s – up to Flowers Barrow, then down into Worbarrow Bay.

Feeding the Ducks at London Colney
Went on a lovely long walk in the Autumn sunshine yesterday along the Timberland Trail… Starting off very suburban, we soon found ourselves having a picnic in a ‘spinney’, walking through woodland and across fields with plenty of wildlife… cows, ducks, llamas (!), a weasel or stoat and a singing robin on the Alban Way ...
Norfolk flats…
The U75 Country Walk took us to the flatlands this weekend; we took the train to Hunstanton, then got a lift to the bunkhouse in Deepdale. The walk took us along marshes, sand dunes & beaches and then through the woods ending up in Wells-next-to-the-sea. We even found a treasure map on the way! A ...
Come on feet – do your thing!
Yay! I did it… 44km in 8 and a half hours… owwwee am I paying for it today though! Feel like I have ground my hip sockets into dust a bit, although am pleased to report 0 blisters… Thank you man at Runner’s need for helpful shoe advice, and thanks to everyone who sponsored me ...
Is that Mont Blanc over there?
Finally, I’ve put some photos up from the Swiss Heidi adventure. Loved it, loved it, loved it… Want to go back sharpish and climb some more mountains :)
Walking 44km for Breast Cancer Charity
Have been walking (some) of the designated km each day in the build up to the 44km (eek) I’ll be doing in September – even bought some ‘proper’ walking shoes so hopefully blisters will be avoided. Also going off to the Swiss mountains next week so I’ll get some Heidi walking in – skipping across ...
Dartmoor downpours…
We went cycling / walking in Dartmoor over the weekend; taking the foldy bikes on the train, cycling to Princetown from Plymouth along the Plym Valley Way. The walk on Saturday was sunny and fine, but the Sunday walk warranted outdoor survival training (it felt like!). Never have I appreciated waterproof trousers so much, nor ...
Walking up to Stanage Edge, Peak District
The U75 walkers hit the Peak District this w/end.. fueled by an amazing rum cake, ale and the thought of the view from the top, we crossed about a mile and half of *very* wet marshland, scrambled up scree and hid behind a wall* at the summit of Stanage Edge to drink tea from a ...
Autumn amble in Kent
Today was such a beautiful sunshiny day we set off with the book of South London walks and caught the train to Kent… only one stop past Herne Hill it felt like the countryside already, and by the time we arrived in Farnborough (Village, not the place where they have the airshows) it was hard ...
