Thank you.. The Peak District is my favourite part of England. I try to get there every couple of months for solo, or with my daughter, hikes.. 👍

Good write up!
Thank you 🤗
Walked across the fields to the farm shop for eggs as I didn't fancy taking the bike on the road.
The usually-familiar route looked very different as everything was covered in hoar frost and there was a fairly dense fog.
Unlike last time I wish I'd not second-guessed taking the MTB on this route as the ground was frozen through so would have given a very clean ride.
I was tempted to go back out on the bike once I was home, but I got a bit chilly stopping to take photos (none of which I can be bothered to edit) and was pretty knackered by the end.
Despite already being exhausted when I went out I felt great afterwards; I think the cold definitely brings additional restorative power to exercise

Intended to do a shortish walk around suburbia. The paths however had thawed yesterday. And that water had frozen overnight; making them literally sheet ice. Incredibly slippery - I had 1/2 a dozen near face-plant experiences. So we soon headed ‘off road”……
And did a new route I’m positive we’ve not done before. There’s so many paths, byways, lanes within 5 miles it’s incredible…

An interesting old tree:
Gunton St Peter’s Church
School named after Lowestoft’s most famous Son;
3.6 miles of Winter fun 😁

Lovely brisk 3.5 k steps walk around the block completed in places the pavements were bone dry in others damp .

Wife and myself started to walk the 40 miles Annandale Way - in the uphill direction from sea to source. Hopefully we'll be (walking) fitter by the time we reach the hillier Moffat section and the Devil's Beeftub loop. Started in Annan today and walked out to Newbie Barns to the start of the route and then followed it back to Annan. 5 miles in total, 3 miles of the route covered.
It's a long term project, a section when we're free. Using car to get to the start, circular routes or straight out and buses to get back to the start point.

A very frosty and slippery 2.9k steps pre work walk was done earlier. Surprised how slippery it was.
Apparently its worse today because the melting snow has revealed the underlying ice.
