Sunny Saturday...

After a lapse of a ‘few’ years, one has rejoined this club...doesn’t the pic look evil!!  ( passport one).  

It’s just tooooo hot to get started, and there’s a football match on today, which, I’m not getting all gung ho about...always expect the worst since 1996😥. But, I will get the kit out and start putting it in order, one will need hooks, weights and floats at the least...

Walking #2...Wild Hill

Another breathtakingly clear day in Hertfordshire!!

In keeping with me new 'resolution', off I went to complete the second short walk on The Hertfordshire Walker list...Camfield Place Loop

Camfield Place was/is the home of Barbara Cartland and her sons.   As much as I like reading, never read, or even felt the need to, any of her stuff.  Obviously had a market and well done to her.

I/we have walked this before, a while ago now, but it has had a bit added, and a bit more for me 'cos I missed a gate and wandered around a field for a while!!

Wore my new boots for the first time 'proper'...very supportive and felt comfortable.  Will have no problems rambling along with these on.  Ankle felt okay, if anything a tad more relaxed.  Went swimming yesterday, and carried on with the PT ( tiptoes on the one ankle..), seems slightly better reach; still hurts and I can't do with my BA the range with my 'good' one.

 Top of Woodman carpark...heading off over style...

 Hot horses...

 Scorchio...☀️☀️

 and dry...

 Walked past here...so walked back!

 How to confuse this old man...!!

 and back...hope there's some ale inside!!

 So...how is IT?

 Quite good...new boots doing their work...

Beer was cool and tasty, had a chat with an old boy and his dog...walks from Brookmans Park and gets community bus back after a beer or two...love it. 

And talking of Brookmans Park, thats where walk #3 starts...:)

Walking...Hertfordshire Walks #1...North Mymms Loop

So, decided to record them here as well as on my Facebook page...

Added two links to the blog....Facebook and an interactive map of all the Hertfordshire Walks...

Walk #1 North Mymms Loop

Stunningly bright day ( again!).  We have walked this little loop a few times, 

 And I ws ALL excited about the prospect of actually being away from life for a bit.

 Sigh..only walked half a mile and it wasn't ankle moaning, it was me back...

 Absolutely love going up little tracks...it was one like this ( and I'm going to have to go back to Christmas Common to finish the walk...) that I did The Deed  on in January!!  

 Hills of Hertfordshire...

 Then I looked down...penguin walking!!

Past the A1M, then acrosss the burnt field - in me new glasses...

 And, how was IT?

 Fine...just needed cooling down!

Wasn't a long walk, will try to do over 3 miles next time..

Reaction, ankle was fine, my toe joints hurt more!!  Heel feels hollow and numb...

Onwards and upwards...
