Jan Feb 2019 Local walks

In between 'set piece' walks, I have been doing lots of local walks with Meg. This includes all the ones I do on a regular basis and some longer walks - the only rule is 'no car'. I have been averaging between 5 and 8 miles per day. Sometimes it is a combination of several shorter walks on the fields around the village or one bigger walk (Shipley park, Horsley castle, Mapperley). Sometimes, I make a flask of tea and a sandwich and set of first thing for breakfast in the fresh air.
