Doorstep Walk: Sand Bay and Sand Point

Sunday 24th January 2021

Overnight, snow had fallen locally and in other parts of the UK that had not already been blanketed. Or so I read online.

My plans for the day didn’t change. I would walk out to Sand Point from home, once again. This time, I’d head clockwise around and take in Sand Bay before it could come close to getting busy again.

Doorstep Walk: Monk’s Steps

Sunday 17th January 2021

For my second Doorstep Walk in Lockdown 3.0, it was going to be hard for me to not tread on familiar ground from the previous weekend’s walk. I had thoughts about heading up to Weston Woods and I wanted to try and avoid becoming too familiar with Sand Point… So, I settled on the idea of taking in the Monk’s Steps.

Doorstep Walk: Sand Point

My first ‘Doorstep Walk’ of 2021; heading out to Sand Point from home, in what we refer to as Lockdown 3.0.

Sunday 10th January 2021

This was my first ‘Doorstep Walk’ of the year, with England having been set in to its third iteration of Lockdown, with the dawn of 2021. As hard as it appears sometimes, I do feel it’s very important to abide by the rules and to stay local to where you live.

I hope this post shows that, in my situation at least, it is possible to find a good amount of green space without travelling too far.

Monthly Miles: December 2020

A look over my mileage from walks and runs in the close of 2020. Also totting up my total mileage for the year.

It is behind us! A new year is born and, while I’m looking forward to whatever may lie ahead, I’d like to reflect briefly on the final month of 2020 and tally up my mileage for the year.
