Walking...close to the footsteps of the ancients...

Took the opportunity to have a wander near Barbury Castle the other day, on a lovely fresh and clear frosty morning...

 How many feet have walked around the Castle....?

 Low lying freezing mist...spooky

 A proper smelly farm..countryside 'ooo arrrr...':)

Holidays - Whitby August 2011 :)

Sunday 7th.

Suzie asked me last night if I was happy – my answer was simple – We’re in Whitby, We have fresh local kippers for breakfast and our view is the North York Moors…Happy – I should coco

We abandoned Chesham around 6:30 ish, had a great run right up till we hit York and stopped… as you expect on a holiday weekend, but arrived at Serenity Camping and Touring Site around 12:30 ish. It’s called serenity because that’s what they aim for…here’s our tent…

 

Here’s our view…

We have company on the site…The Magic Finger anyone?

A quick stop at Scaling Dam –

just to try out the ale you understand!!

This place has context with my dad – one of his youthful fishing haunts.

In fact all around us is littered with places that touch upon my dad and his life with his family growing up; mother’s and him starting out as a courting couple and then married  life …

Walked around Hinderwell (where we are…) last night..

What an atmospheric church yard….

Complete with it’s own 12th Century St Hilda’s Holy Well !!

#Getfitordie update....

Well - it doesn't get any easier!!

Today couldn't breath for the first part & then when I could breath without gasping like a fish on the river bank my legs said 'Whoo boy that's enough' !! Felt like I was going backwards....

Then I checked my gizmo that tells me how I've done and...



It was THE fastest yet :). Feel better now.

Some pics of 'route A '








Target is to get below 28min :)

#getfitordie cont....

Phew - two days on the trot !! Feeling completely knackered right now...in a good way.

Mind you, yesterday's fish'n chips and lovely bottle of Italian red wasn't exactly part of the new regime :)


Nearly made it under 30 min :)


Lovely morning though.

And long may this all continue

Sunday into Monday…

After the non-events of Saturday (mind you the Chinese and chillaxed evening were perfectly fine), made my way over Mother’s in Chesham to find … SNOW!!

Mind you, Mother looks fine (if you ignore the sciatica )
