Uninspirational...... Highlights.......South Kyme Priory The pretty little cottage at Ewerby church For me, far too much flat land...... extremely boring to walk, especially at any great distance. A mile of this would have been enough for me. 🙍🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ 🚷⛔

Thoroughly enjoyable solo hike....... Distance and Elevation, What more could a girl possibly wish for. Parked up just on the edge of Bamford Village and walked down to take a picture of the church before commencing. I've done all three of these peaks in previous walks but only ever two on the same day. On this KOMOOT route it took me into an immediate descent from Win Hill down into Hope only to climb back up to Lose Hill pike. (I've come down that hill on my backside, twice previously 😂) After ascending to the summit , the route would have taken me off the ridge but there was no way I was going to miss out on Mam Tor......it added another 3 miles on to the original route but was soooo worth it if only for the free dog at the end 🤟🏻😀 I doubled back and made my own way into the valley to join the original route and carried on an undulating course back into Bamford via Hope. A splendid hike. Very pleased with the distance,speed and elevation and those amazing views along the way are just spectacular!

A Frosty Boxing day stroll..... Sunny and Frosty for a morning urban walk around a small part of Sheffield including Walkley and Weston Park which was stunning in the early morning sunshine. I simply love the juxtaposition of the old and new buildings. Back in time for visitors arriving and more Christmas celebrations 🎊🎄👌🏻

Another foggy walk but in great company this time. Lovely to meet up with the Sleaford Ramblers again......thanks to Mick for leading us through the mist. A very atmospheric walk with 24 of us. Lovely to see some of my favourite people and have a good catch up and natter especially just before Christmas.

Started off sunny then the fog descended. Well trodden ground for me ......having had a sleep in, it was too late to travel anywhere of any distance given the lack of daylight hours. This walk was slightly experimental in as much as I wanted to see how far and how long the stretch from Ancaster to North Rauceby church was. My plan tomorrow, if I have the energy, is to join my local group who are walking an 7-8 miler from North Rauceby. A little short in distance for my liking so by walking up from Ancaster and likewise back again at the end , it should make a decent 13 miles. I had toyed with the idea of driving to Ancaster today but thought after working yesterday, a good long walk is what I most definitely needed. 😁 I shall definitely be driving to Ancaster tomorrow, 23 miles is most definitely not on the agenda 🫣 My Fitbit came in at 18.5 miles so take off half a mile of pottering before leaving then I would say 18 is about right with KOMOOT selling me me short again by its usual 1/2 mile or so. A good Saturday leg stretcher! 🤟🏻😀

A gentle Amble...... Predominantly dry for us. A gentle Amble round part of the reserve with the Newark Ramblers. Great sociable atmosphere as they are a very friendly and chatty group.

This was a decent hike....... No rain 🥳 The ground was water logged everywhere but I was expecting hard going after all the overnight and recent rain. The loop at the half way point is actually trespassing over private land as I found out when the grounds keeper came along the road in his 4x4 but as a result, sparked up a lovely conversation about the area and how Wings School (Kirklington Hall) used to be occupied by BP during the war as the surrounding area was oil rich .....very interesting. Anyway he said I could proceed and I would have a 5 bar gate to leg it over at the end, stating that anyone queried it, I had his permission 👌🏻😁🤟🏻 And the sun finally came out.....not quite the weather that was forecast yesterday but at least I left the rain behind in Caythorpe.....it was hammering down. No rain by the time I got to Caunton 👍🏻😊 A little info about Kirklington Hall. http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/books/Jacks1881/kirklington.htm
