Walking For Health

The sun is out here as well. I will head off soon to take the dogs for a walk through the fields. I will take my camera as well.

I have wine chilling in the fridge as a reward :eek::D. Well, H is away.

Yes we will be doing the steps Cath, and yes they will do us in :roflmao:, but you cant spend time in Whitby and not do them.

Doing the abbey and the museums again, as it is so long since we spent time there. Hope to go on the Victory too if possible, well not the real one, the copy.

Just back from a lovely walk. The dogs thought it was great fun and Max went into his usual pond:eek:.

It is so hard taking a butterfly photo when a mad Max is charging around :roflmao:.

A blot on the landscape or industrial art?

Great pics KP! The dogs sure looked like they enjoyed it and good for you too!:tdown:

I tried taking some photos of butterfly's recently but they fly off before I can get them!

I don't know but my grandfather used to paint them!:eek:

I'm going for my walk this afternoon and tomorrow I might tackle Frodsham Hill, Helsby and the Sandstone Trail with my eldest Son. This will definitely need waking poles as my knees won't stand it!

Next Thursday will be a :eek: walk! I'm not looking forward to it at all. I did this walk when I was younger and it is stunning but I'm so much older now and it is very steep. The walk will be a climb up to High Street (an old Roman Road across the mountains), and back down into Mardale and Haweswater Reservoir.

Crafty Cath does not like heights!!!!!

I'm actually really nervous as I don't know if I can make it that high anymore.:eek: But I promised my Son and said he could lead the walk. You need an OS map for this kind of thing and although I'm a good map reader I have a hopeless sense of direction and can't use a compass.:rolleyes:

Wish me luck!

Just some of the 99 steps up to whitby Abbey. Plus the view when you get up there.

The views are amazing from the top aren't they Amethist? I puffed and panted all the way why H just looked like he was out for a stroll!

I so love Whitby it is a gorgeous place with some of the best Fish & Chips going.

Walk for today was just around my village. It's only a couple of miles (not sure how many), here are a few pics...
