SouthDowns Walk 2009

For my Birthday this year, we spent the weekend at Alfriston (camping) and did some walks accross the Downs.

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.
