Sat outside on the deck watching the sun go down over the Malverns. First time this year that we have sat out. This time last week you would have needed a wetsuit.

My early morning walk today. Somerset.

 

[Cliffdale]

Gerrans today. Nice to see the sun for a change!

 

[Smudger55]

Took my wife for 2nd jab today other side of Exeter, afterwards we went on to Sidmouth. I have run up and down those cliffs a few times in my former working life.

Plassey.
Really nice site. Lot's of stuff to see and do. Our pitch overlooking a golf course.
The section of site we were on "Deluxe" had 32 pitches. Whilst we were there 29 of those pitches were Caravans and 3 only were motorhomes. Surprised with the ratio.

Don't know what the bird is. I am sure someone will be along to advise.

 

[Scotch mist]

The bird is a Gold finch

The old hospital in Victoria Country Park, Netley. First time I've seen it in a long time without scaffolding around it

 

[movan]

Love walking through villages and towns when they are silent and deserted. Ghosts of the past awaiting behind closed doors and dark windows.

So, as well as Wife Carrying as a sport here; we also go Bog walking. Here is a nice Bog to look at from the observation tower....

And from a slightly different direction at Bog level........

And, back up the tower again...........

And that is one of our many Bogs here in Estonia today.....

We spent the day at Leonardslee Gardens in West Sussex today. What a stunning place !!
The photos just don’t do it justice.

Took dog over fields just now.....

And this brute is alongside at the old Navy base...

Rubbish photo`s as there was a lot of heat haze...

It is MASSIVE......... by all accounts a new ship to the cruising market and weighs in at over 163 thousand tons...

By all accounts this is her.... "Norwegian Bliss"....... Pig ugly and would hate to be a passenger...

By all accounts NOT new... few years old...

 

[Northern Boy]

Pig ugly and would hate to be a passenger

Its quite sad to see what we humans can build these days, but I guess it was designed with an accountant standing over the ships architect with a gun. saying 'I don't care if she looks like a block of flats and may fall over; you need to get more cabins in her' ==

Looks like an absolutely wonderful place to pitch.

Baltic Wharf from the back doors.

 

[MR BLO]

A couple from our walk in to Thetford today. Actually it was my second visit this morning. Guess who forgot the milk - I had to jog in early doors. Running up the A134 was a bit tasty
Anyway for our walk we took the route suggested by Gazzag, much nicer.

Wasn’t exactly mountaineering but the climb up to motte and Bailey castle tump was pretty steep. I counted 88 steps and Archie counted 89. Unfortunately our 3rd and swaying voter abstained so we will have to come back next year to see who was correct.

A few from our walk in Pembrokeshire this morning.

Love going around 'Gardens' at this time of year....... Azaleas and rhododendrums(????) really beautiful.

Yes Movan they are Azaleas and Rhododendrons. The gardens are huge and there are so many varieties - colours and scents.
I couldn’t believe the colours. You turn a corner and there are more - it goes on and on.
what a stunning place to visit at this time of year. Highly recommend.

 

[DumfriesDik]

Nice sunset from the back door.

Any of you Army bods do your training at Wyke Regis Bridging Camp.?
It`s still here and getting bigger..

Lone fisherman on the fleet lagoon, thought Bass fishing was illegal cos it`s a Bass nursery.. must have had a few miles walk to get to the there..

"Fleet Lagoon" or Littlesea...I love taking Daisy for an evening walk here... fairly level and I don`t have to walk far and she can run wild, never many people around cos they don`t know how to get here and so tranquil and quiet... Now you can see why we wanted to come back home after all our worldly travels...

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Luckily for us I did a bit of forward planning and caught the bus into Devizes and walked back down the hill to the campsite 8 miles yesterday

Archie had a message from PCB, his pony, this morning whilst we are in Norfolk.
