A day out with the dog ( Rocky), wet muddy and warm. A lovely sunny day for a change, hope you enjoy photos. This is my first go at posting a walk so I hope it works :roll: . Not the Highlands, but as good as it gets at the moment :D

Thanks Chris, South of england not the best place to live for a walker, nothing but farms where I live, just the odd footpath :thumbdown: without driving for a few hours. Had been raining for weeks, was going to put me wet suit on :crazy: . There are some longish walks, ie South downs way, Wayfarer's walk, Ridge way etc, all through farms and ploughed fields, have you fallen asleep yet :) . Your part of the world looks a bit more interesting though :sick: , you lucky boy :wink:

I like flat forest walks and if you've got them on offer, I'd like reports on walks through farm country as well, so do continue posting more! :-D

Its all that good polluted blighty air Chris :D , hope you are feeling better and able to get out into the hills. Did you need your ice axe for the stairs :shock:

Hi Lenore, Thank you, we do have some lovely rolling hills down here, great at any time of the year, but best in the spring/summer. Long days mean longer walks, only wild camping can be a problem, so have to plan some walks around camp sites. There are a few drovers routes around my area which lead to the coast, 50 to 70 miles on average. Makes a nice weekend walk with great views, I will post more asap :)
