The Cool_Dudes wrapped up against the cold to take a walk in the park. The park's trees gave shelter from the east wind. This made for a calming walk in the grey January light. At the far end of the Swanholme reserve birdsong covered the distant urban noise of Tritton Road.

A walk with variety; South Common, riverside, the Viking Way on the Cliff's edge. I wanted to take photos of this urban amble but it was too cold to take my mitts off. The highlights posted to Komoot give a flavour of the route

This was a walk along the the drains and waterways west of Lincoln on damp December day, This made the pre-Christmas lunch with the Ramblers more inviting, sitting inside in the warm. Not a challenging walk, except when crossing the A57. Fortunately drivers stopped allowing the small group to cross safely.

A walk through little Texas. Pevsner describes Sudbrooke as an American style garden suburb, The route passes two oil fields with their "nodding donkey" pumps. We even saw a cowboy, someone on horseback wearing chaps and guiding cattle. Yee-ha! The farms on the way are agri-industrial, landscape flat. A contrast to the rolling hills of the Wolds

In 1629 parishioners of Bassingham asked for enclosure of the parish. They wanted a shorter route to the Fen pastures. The open fields blocked the way causing a six mile journey for their animals. Paths on the fen are ways I would not normally walk. On this mild bright autumn morning I walked, with Ms Cool_Dude, across Bassingham Fen surveying rights of way for the county council, treading paths new to us.

The Cool_Dudes travelled to Pembrokeshire for this walk. It is an easy cliff top walk with a leg near the Bosherton Lilly Ponds. We would like to record more walks like this, but the weather was against it. One bonus was standing on the Eight-arch Bridge watching and otter swim in the water below. The walk was accompanied by the noise of artillery and machine gun fire from the Castle Martin range.

A varied short route by the estuary and through the wildwoods. The route is more difficult than the guides suggest. The rocks beside Garron Pill are slippery. The path in the woods beside Daugleddau is rough and undulating. An interesting but demanding walk

A Ramblers walk on a glorious autumn day. Through the woods and over the rise before the Witham valley. Crossing Branston Top gave views of the cathedral and the distant Wolds. The walk ended at the village hall with an excellent, and plentiful, lunch before the business of the annual general meeting.
