Detling Snow walk

This is a video of a small walk at Detling in Kent, just after a major snow event that brought havoc to the area on 17th-18th Dec 2009. This walk took place on the 19th as the roads were block until then.

Brecon Horseshoe

Brecon Beacons Walk

I finally got to do Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons this on Friday. This is the highest point in southern britain and have planned to do this walk 3 times before but was unsuccessful for various reasons.

This attempt was a rush decision and I left friday morning at 5 am. 5 hours later i was parked up and ready to start my walk. A 6 and a half miles circle taking in 3 peaks.

Thanks Guys

A winter Walk

A Winter Walk

Today i did a 6.5 mile walk from Tonford to Blean. This had to be the coldest day of this winter and frost laid on the groud all day. The sun was out but had no effect on the temps. The walk was nice and easy and was chosen on the spur of the moment, so no planning just went with the flow.

New Year Walk

First walk of the 2009

Today i went for my first walk of 2009. A circular 5 mile walk around Barham, the sun was out with frost on the ground and i am wrapped up well.

It has been a while since i have been out for a walk and the lack of execise and the excesses of Christmas made this walk a struggle at times, although only 5 miles, the hills felt hard and a few aches in my legs convinced me that i should get a lot fitter this year.

These pictures were taken with my new camera (Fuji J10), which i got for christmas. I love the winter sun light, which is low most of the day and creates long shadows and wondeful colours

All in all it was great to get out on a walk again, Will have to get fitter to do some long distance walks 15 -20 miles in the summer.

Autumn Walk

Autumn Walk

Early Start

Today I went on a small 6 mile walk around Dargate to Boughton and back. I incoperated a bit of Geocaching on this walk and completed 4 of 6 caches in the Scoobydoo series. I started my walk at 6.30 am and in October it's still dark at this time, I visited victoria wood (Not actually a Wood) to take a shot of the lights of seasalter.

I walked through Blean wood in the Twilight and waited for the Sun to Rise fully, so that the full colour of Autumn could be seen.

This time of year has got to be my favourite for taking photo's. The golden & reds along with the low sun, it's just perfect.

A Country walk Video

A small video of a walk i did with a friend (Macca), at a place called Painter's Forstal near Faversham in Kent. I normally post my video's on Youtube but macca asked that it did not appear there, so i have posted it here. I hope he does not mind (too much). Enjoy.

The walk was 7 mile long and took abot 3 hours to complete. The weather was sunny and hot, a bit to hot really and we both suffered from the heat.

The Route

Wye to Canterbury

Wye to Canterbury

Via Crundale

June 14th 2008. Today i set off to wye by bus for an 11 mile walk back to Canterbury. I caught the 7:10 am Bus and bought a trusty Explorer ticket (£5). I arrived at my starting point at 8:22 Excited an ready to go.

The weather was good, a mixture of blue sky and fluffy Clouds (Some Grey). The temp was low for the time of year 16'c , but ideal for walking.

This is how Footpaths should be kept, Nice clear and obvious.

I Had chance to do some Macro Photography.

What a great name for a footpath "Wiberley Way"

Wingham To Canterbury

Wingham to Canterbury Walk

Via Fordwich

Today was hot and sunny and i decided to do a evening walk from Wingham to canterbury. I chose the evening as i new it would be cooler, if i tried this walk during the middle of the day, i would have fried.

The fields were full of Rapeseed again, a lovely carpet of yellow and in the eveing sun glowed almost like gold.

The walk was fairly easy, not any real hills to climb and well sign posted, which is always a bonus.


I had to negotiate a small stream as i went through Ickham but stepping stones were provided.



I also past a wonderful dispay of Wisteria cling to the front of a house, Magic.




The evening sun also gave some wonderful effects in the wooded sections.

In all it was a really nice walk and did not tire me out to much, i will do this walk again in the future, hopefully with my wife Michelle.

Lyminge and Etchinghill

Lyminge And Etchinghill

My walk today was going to be a 10 mile round trip from Lyminge and back. I have been having a few problems with muscle cramps in my thighs recently (don't know why), and today the cramps decided to flare up and cut my walk short, I ended up only doing 7.14 miles and stopped at Echinghill to catch the bus home. Once again the weather was great, although a little cool at times. The walk took me over 4 hours to complete due to the many stops i had to make to ease the cramps. I might have stop my walking for a bit until i find out what is causing the Cramps.

BroadOak Walk

Tyler hill to Broadoak Walk

It's been a while since i have been out for a good walk and this weekend was just right,The weather was great, the sun was out and it felt mild for Febuary. So out came the boots and walking pole and i jumped on a bus to Tyler Hill to start my walk to Broadoak Village and Back on a circle route. This route was aprox 6.18 Miles in total and took me about 3 hours to complete with stops for photos and snacks. The video below is a small compilation on the scenery. Enjoy.
