​The hardest walk for a lot of us in the group today, climbing 4 miles up for this view of High Cup Nick in The Pennines.

​Got these two 80 year old salt glazed chimney pots today for a song. They will be planted up in the spring.

​I forgot to post this when I got home yesterday, as I was caught up with England’s football game. I did a later than usual walk on Horden beach, and saw this father teaching his son some fishing skills.

​Our walking group this morning, out in the fields with blazing heat and golden wheat.

​I walked with a new group this evening at Seaham. They were a fun crowd, one of the laughs was discovering that we were exiting a footpath that should’ve been closed.

​Mr Blue Skye looking very disgruntled, as he just got woken up with a sneezing fit. 20 seconds later, his head was back down, and back to sleep again.

​Over 9 miles walking today, and my hips hurt! Over 7 of them were on this morning’s walk, battling our way through tall grasses and flowers. A lovely walk though!
