My original plan for this three week tour had been to manage two days of exercise in Sydney.  I had the option of the full weekend in New Zealand and in summer I would have taken that and aimed too complete another section of the Queen Charlotte Trail (I missed posting on that and I […]

Section 13 and 14 of what will end up as about 75 stages were always going to be the most tedious involving post-industrial settings which while they have their own fascination lack aesthetic qualities normally associated with country walking.  But they had to be done and today was my last chance for some weeks to […]

Today was one that combined exercise with sleep and very little else.  By arrangement I headed off in newly purchased Baffin snow boots to the 0745 Dartmouth Ferry and met Ray at the entrance to the Farmer's market.  From there we headed up to the cinder path that roughly tracks the Shubie Canal (pictured) as […]

As readers of the blog will have realised I managed a fair number of walks this Christmas and today was my last outing before work and travel bring me back to earth.  I drove down to Exmoor last night through floods and tempest torn conditions to stay at the Culbone Inn for a couple of […]
