Great walk this one but a bit wet and boggy in places would be better done on a nice frosty morning. Conditions were not very conducive to photography and these hills are not very photogenic, so just a couple of rather poor images sorry.

Getting out and walking is the most important thing and having those photos is a bonus :D

Fair point :D
However, I am now disabled and unable to walk very far anymore, so, from my point of view it's great for people to be able to get out walking :thumbup:
