Offa's Dyke Path, Hay Bluff & Black Hill

The day started off all foggy and misted in at home, however there was little cloud cover, and I hoped that going high would get me out of the fug.
I had wanted to walk the ridge from Hay bluff to black hill for a while, so came up with a circuit starting at gospel pass and following Offa's dyke path up to the ridge. Along the ridge to Black Hill (Crib y Garth) then down the on-going ridge to the car park below. Turning here to follow a track around the base of the ridge and around to Craswall, before climbing up the slope to the plateau below the end of the ridge.

Monkland Return via Eardisland, Pembridge & Lyonshall

Sue had a workshop in Monkland with her quilting circle, so I grabbed a lift with the aim to walk back home, first along the river Arrow through Lawton Cross, Eardisland and Pembridge. Then weaving a path parallel to the A44 down to Lyonshall, before returning home mainly on the back roads due to the lack of footpaths.

Sunday Stroll, Almeley

A misty day, but generally dry apart from overnight dew, I selected a local walk to the neighbouring village and back. The route would follow a number of the local paths that I have walked many times already this year, with the exception of one small part along a connecting track I have never been on.

Weobley Return via Burton Hill

Sue had an appointment in Weobley and I planned to get a lift then walk back. I had picked a couple of walks out of the Weobley Walks book - combining the Ledgemoor, Hilltop, Garnstone woods and Shoals bank (#25) with Devereux Wootton farm Circular (#30), together with the return home from Eccles Green.
The weather was very foggy and this included Burton Hill.

BOC Walk, Runnymede & Windsor Great Park

This walk was arranged to go through the Runneymede park, see one of the magna carta memorials, then move into Windsor Great Park for a loop before returning back along the Thames Path.
