A ‘Joint Walk’ of mixed age and many boot in the Wye Valley. Beginning at Tintern, from May 2017.
Officially, I’m a member of a 20s and 30s walking group in Bristol. But we also have a ‘Plus’ group for members over the age of forty.
Every now and then, you’ll see a ‘Joint Walk’ appear on the calendar, where walkers of all ages are welcome. On this occasion, with a route starting in Tintern, we set off with, I think, thirty-six people in tow of the two walk leaders!
Embracing the Summer Solstice, on the 21st of June this year. Outdoors, of course! What did you get up to?
Each year, the longest day comes and goes. It’s rare that I ever do anything to celebrate or embrace the occasion. In fact, I think I’ve put more effort in to experiencing the shortest day, every twelve months.
But this year, I wanted it to be different. I wanted to do something. Naturally, walking came to mind; being outdoors. With work to continue the next morning, I didn’t driving far and so travelled up Burrington Combe to begin a brief expedition on to my local Mendip Hills.
I accidentally drafted this on my other site and I’ve not yet figured out a way of easily moving it over so, here I am, Reblogging my own work!
As quickly as this past weekend came and went, I now find that almost three whole days have passed since I arrived home.
Cranborne Chase – for those who don’t know (just as I didn’t) – is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in North Dorset, very close to the border with Wiltshire. Salisbury lies to the north with the New Forest and Hampshire to the east.
This was a camping and walking weekend organised by two members of Brunel Walking Group and my second of the year.

Reviewing my mileage for the month that was June 2017, with a running total of my current standing for the year, in a personal quest to #walk1000miles.
I’m sure a lot of people are already saying this but, here we are; having already completed the full first-half of 2017!
For me personally, it’s a been another good month on the mileage front.
