Mablethorpe for a few days with the grandkids so walk out the site, along the road, over a dune path then maybe 1/4 mile up the beach then back.
Breezy but very bright, definitely jumper, preferably a hoodie weather....kids thoroughly enjoyed it, picking stuff up along the beach...

Started working in Witney last December, now that there's more light in the evening I've taken to having a stroll when staying up overnight. Usually stay in Burford and have discovered a loop of just over 4 miles to build up my appetite.

After this Mornings early cycle…….we then took the dog for a lovely mooch along Lowestoft Sea-Front for a couple of miles.
Gorgeous outside. Seaside shops / cafes etc all open. Plenty of people on the Beach. And in the Sea 😳 People surfing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, eating, drinking and generally enjoying the Beach and the Sun. Lots of improvements / groundwork’s / landscaping going on up the Promenade. All great to see !
*Ice creams may have been consumed 😁

Having a run of decent weather just now, so it’s nice to take advantage.

Unfortunately I’ve actually got to do some paid work today. So an early Sunday start saw us heading along the Cliff to our favourite spot…..
And onto the deserted each we descended…
Where Dad decided to attempt to get creative with his camera:
And again……
Before further contemplating the life of an imprisoned stone 🤷♂️
Macy had more than had enough of Dads big ideas by this point: and asked if she could grab a drink before leaving:
…..but did manage to muster the energy to act the tw4t with a stick for a bit in the Woods:
5.2 lovely miles in better than expected Weather. Now to grab those calories back 😁

Lovely day in the Peak District yesterday: arrived at about 04:00 and parked up near Great Longstone for a nocturnal pedal along the Monsal Trail, through the tunnels, 5 miles to Miller's Dale where I intended to go to to park for the rest of the day. Details said it was shut from midnight until 06:00 but it wasn't so I could have just gone straight there! Still, I know for next time.. 👍
I'd planned an 8½ ish
mile hike along Chee Dale, Kings Sterndale, Topley Pike & back to Miller's Dale for a coffee in the old railway station café.
As it was still early, just after 06:00, the car park eas empty as was Chee Dale. I've not been there before but can imagine that it resembles Christmas on Oxford Street on a sunny Saturday!!
The trail alongside the River Wye starts off quite easy but has some interesting rocky bits to navigate, plus the two sets of Stepping Stones that the Dale is famous for..
One of the rocky descents, with my stick for scale.. 😂
Once out of the gorge the terrain changed to up & down steep (and I mean STEEP) footpaths to Kings Sterndale where I followed a footpath down Topley Pike that, all of a sudden, had a closed sign with a really tricky unsuitable diversion along the steep side of the hill. That's probably why my ankles ached later in the day; walking with them twisted sideways!!
Anyways up.. I reached the end and crossed the A6 to pick up a bridleway that took me to the Monsal Trail for an easy level walk back to the car.
Up to this point I think I only saw 3 or 4 people but the Monsal was quite busy & the car park was rammed with people looking for somewhere to park,several of whom asked if I was leaving but I still had coffee to drink ☕
The walk turned out to be 10 miles. Most enjoyable!! 👌

Rain overnight, first decent lot this year, but this afternoon cleared up rather nicely. Another 5 miles or so round the backyard beaches 🙂

Standard dog walk this morning, nothing exciting.
