One of the things I like about country walking is you need little excuse to stop and admire the view. This little collection shows some of the peaceful places I’ve found on my many rambles.
There are many paths to stroll along on and around Winter Hill. Some are shown on the Ordnance Survey maps, some are not. Today’s walk covered some of each as Brett, Sam and I spent a very enjoyable five miles and four hours of moorland meanderings.

I haven’t been out much these past few weeks, a small health problem (happily now sorted) and a knee injury keeping me confined to barracks. So I thought I’d drag out a few pictures to share with you that bring back memories of other walks.
I took possession of a car on Monday to replace the one that was stolen last November, so I decided to take the dogs for a stroll in Wilderswood. It was an opportunity to test out my injured knee before venturing on more challenging terrain, and that meant a gentle stroll was the order of the day.
