The weekend’s ambles. Saturday saw us back up the South West Pennines as usual. One day I will actually find somewhere else to amble, but I am a creature of habit. oh yes, there were flying ants all over the shop

Today’s amble in full. Similar to our usual weekend amble, but from another angle and slightly longer. New boots working out well. Will try for the tower next time, tower to chimney.

So, here’s today’s amble in video form. Got some new boots so gave them a spin today, hence the video title, in case anyone was wondering. If anyone is interested, happy to share more about boots, but not sure anyone is. Anyway, amble.

Good evening Fediversistas! Been ambling, naturally. I do need to find somewhere else to amble, but there is a nice bakery which does really good quiche at the bottom of the hill. If I were to start a blog with hiking routes I might be motivated to find new ones, but I can’t be bothered and I really like quiche. So there we are. Here’s today’s amble. The last bit was in the car until I remembered to turn off the app.

Some amble pics from earlier - here is a fun fact about each of them:
1. Sheep originated in the Middle East and are not native to the pennines, which they have dined upon for centuries
2. Cairns are often used to mark high points on hills; trig point markers are placed by the Ordnance Survey, for whom my great grandfather worked
3. Stoodley Pike monument is where we took our avi
4. The village on the far hill is Heptonstall, where Sylvia Plath is buried

Good evening Fediversistas! We have been to the borderlands today - bandit country, where we did part of one of our favourite ambles, Todmorden to Hebden via Stoodley pike. Video here, pics may follow - not sure why the app thought this was a run. With these knees? You are having a laugh.

Good evening Fediversistas! We have broadband again! Hurrah! So I am watching real telly. Our amble this afternoon didn’t record but we had one very heavy downpour followed by some actual sunshine and almost summer like conditions. Which was nice. Took amble pic pre showers by the look of it. Also, alpacas!

After a couple of weeks misfiring my amble app worked today, which was nice. Here’s today’s route.

Good evening Fediversistas! Nice ambling today, but nippy on the tops. Saw a couple more kestrels hovering after this morning’s spot, also plenty of skylarks

Good evening Fediversistas! Rainy day. Been ambling, but my ambling app didn’t work. Here are some pics - visibility was less than optimal.

Good evening Fediversistas. Bit drier today, but not exactly July weather. Thought I would share some amble pics from today.

Good evening Fediversistas! Interesting amble today. The weather was certainly mixed, shall we say. Hopefully boots will be dry by next week. Very much how it started…

Good evening Fediversistas! Thunderstorms outside now. Missed the worst of it on our afternoon amble which started and ended in short sleeve order, waterproof in pack. Here’s the route, had to avoid the valley because of children playing soldiers

Anyway, here is today’s amble, which ended just before the rain arrived. Very humid, a lot of dips required.

Good evening Fediversistas! Been ambling. Warm one today, but the cloud cover and a good breeze on the tops helped. Here are some pictures.

Lovely 11 mile roundtrip walk from Tenterden to Retreat Animal Rescue Centre where we saw lots of cute creatures. In typical juvenile innuendo fashion, I call these Gobblin’, Porkin’ and an Impressive Cock.

Yesterday we celebrated Richard’s birthday and avoided all things coronation with a lovely 10mile walk across the Malverns in scorching sunshine and with these epic views… 😅
