Walking the dogs

In the woods with the kids

Went after supper, put up the tee pee. Light the fire and had marshmallows.  Turned in then up early to watch the deer. Sausages and climbing trees.

Hedgehog

Saw this lite fella while walking the dogs last night.  Seen a couple lately, may be the dry weather is making them range into the village more

First mobile post - red kiteq

Saw this on the way to work a pair of red kites on a road kill hare

Molly in the snow

Molly my black labrador in some freshly fallen power snow. Molly has a really thick coat and doesn't really get going until the temperature gets below zero celsius. Here she was in her element!

Mountain Trail Challenge - Brecon Beacons

Well now I know I can walk 30 miles in a day, it take 14 hours and hurts like hell when you stop. Great event, well organised, amazing mountains in the morning, then a moor crossing in the dark to finish off. All in all, quite an adventure.

Pretty Good Countryside

Been meaning to get some photos of a bike route I've been doing off and on for the last 2 years. It can be extended out to 23 miles but I don't often get chance to do the full loop. But, for ever long I get out, I think you would agree, the scenery is worth it.
