The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The last leg of St Peters way and onto the chapel of St Peter on the wall.

Left Steeple by the road and onto open countryside, then through meadows to the quaint village of Tillingham...too early for coffee at the pub....they don't seem to open before 12md

The chapel was visible from quiet a distance as we approached it on the track.....too windy to walk on the sea wall

The Chapel dates from 654 AD....built by Lindisfarne monk St Cedd, it is one of the most isolated religious sites in the UK
The chapel fell out of religious use in the 18th century and was used as a grain store. Restored in 1920 it is now a regular site of pilgrimage
Spent a little while here and back to the village of Bradwwll by track ...passing some lovely "English country gardens"
Coffee at the Kings Head whose "photo" on the front looked remarkably like Henry the V111 !!!
Back to Steeple by bus

This Pulgrim way of 41 miles is very well marked throughout
We were lucky to have had good weather as there are lots of fields to be crossed ...and Essex clay can be pretty hard going when wet image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.png
 
After a very wet morning, I took myself off as soon as it was dry and managed to fit in my needed distance to reach Mazarife and continue on towards Astorga (On a virtual trudger's camino). On my way back home I passed a statue I have not taken a photo of before: The subject is Matt Talbot, and here is a link to the said personage:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Talbot

The second photo was of two mounted policemen who agreed to be photographed. I should have taken a moment to position the shot better but there were too many people around. The horsemen were part of the scenery as the Government convened early after their recess, in the Convention Centre on the Liffey. I didn't push my luck to ask what exactly their role might be...

Left home early this morning to explore another green belt that I have never visited; this one a little more rugged. I was glad of my poles, and that it wasn't wet. It always amazes me that these tall trees have such relatively shallow root systems; some soggy earth and a good wind can easily take them over. Piles of loose stones affording a dry crossing of the creek, and you can see where the creek is carving out a channel under the roots of an ancient tree stump.

A walk with family today at Rocky Point along the Shoreline trail in Port Moody. A lovely varied walk. Part of it followed The Great Trail - a cross Canada system of linked greenways, waterways and roadways. 24,000 km from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic Oceans. We can now say that we've walked 8 km of it 🙂

The Great Trail - my gosh, I think I saw that sign today. I’ll have to pay more attention in the future. Thank you for pointing that out.

An interesting site: https://thegreattrail.ca/
There is a searchable map to find the trail in your area. You've probably already walked much of it :) This opens up a fun new walking challenge - anywhere I travel in Canada now, I can walk and continue to connect pieces of the trail !
 
More floral details next to where I'm walking...plus a detail from the underside of one of those lovely red leaves. These little gals have been quietly living here happily until yesterday when I was pruning and knocked down their nest (not knowing it was there). Quelle suprise!!! On both sides. They are tiny but fierce.

Another Sunday bike ride. Soy and corn fields are changing from green to yellow. Since I ride from town to town, I encounter all sorts of interesting things, like a Sea Museum in a town that is at least 1500 miles from the sea, and a cottage where Lincoln supposedly met Douglas to hash out their pre-debate conditions. There are cemeteries every few miles, dating from the mid 19th century. Aside from the two hours spent in a pavilion waiting out a thunderstorm, it was glorious!

What have we done!!???
We're just people, being the instant gratification and do-the-easy thing-not the-hard thing junkies that we are. The human species does not deal with long-term thinking or considering consequences very well, soooooo... trash catchers.

What I find gobsmacking is how many people are getting out of that rut. It's a wonderful and couageous thing, learning to think and act differently than we have for the last couple of hundred-thousand years.
 
I have been walking around a lot where I grew up - Eifel area in Germany - took a hike from the abbey in Maria Laach. I finally went to check out the pilgrims fountain ⛲ this has been a stop for pilgrims from Germany on their way to Spain :)
In the Shop at the Abbey I found a Book I bought „ secrets along the camino - miracle legends and stories“ I am excited to read it :)

Any little birds bathing under the waterfall? :) The chickadees here love it when the rainwater pours from the gutter spout under the balcony.

Still no walking for me, just riding. Though on Sunday I had to sit in a pavilion for two hours while thunderstorms went through, and I was 30 miles from home, :(all in all it was a good ride. So much Americana, unsurprisingly. :p

I decide to walk "The Capital Ring" this week. It's a circular walk around London of about 78 miles. It starts at North Greenwich a circles around at about 4-6 miles from Charing Cross. I split the walk up into five sections so I could complete in a week.

Great pictures. Hard to believe that at all times you were in spitting distance of about 9 million people! I had to google around to get some info on this walk, not that it’s likely that I’ll ever walk it, but still. What a great creation. In the process, I also came across what could be your next challenge — how about the 150 mile London Loop?!

And it seems to come with its own certificate — so who needs the compstela anyway. :)

Boston, Massachusetts has a trail like this too. The Appalachian Mountain Club says
The Bay Circuit Trail and Greenway (BCT) is a 230-mile [370 km] trail extending through 37 towns in Eastern Massachusetts and linking parks and open spaces from Plum Island to Duxbury/Kingston Bay. To a large degree, it is a multi-use trail allowing hiking, trail running, backpacking, biking, horseback riding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and paddling.

For information I like the Appalachian Mountain Club's webpage more than the Bay Circuit Trail's website .

We have only walked a few miles of this trail ourselves.

I have the book and it's in the planning. But it will have to wait for a whole as I'm off walking the coast to coast again in a couple of weeks.

Never knew that the Loop has its own certificate!!
We'll have to hurry up and finish it then!...and yes London is near yet so far away!
In fact one of the sections almost runs by the house

So far we've walked 11 of the 15 sections and it is indeed a wonderful walk....all within the London boundary and through open countryside, forests canals and parks.
There are a few urban areas too on some of the sections ...handy for a coffee stop Each section begins and finishes at a public transport tube or train .....
So ....free transport AND a certificate......lets get going!!

Last year we cam across this stone plaque with my inscription....can't remember which section though.image.jpeg

Short walks this weekend due to extremely poor air quality. The devastating wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington are blanketing southern British Columbia with dense smoke. There is a kind of still hush and my village surroundings - mountain and island views, have disappeared. Deeply sad what is happening in those states.

Take care, @Theatregal...not too many deep breaths.
These fires are a tragedy, on all levels.
Yes, we're all staying inside as much as possible now. I keep thinking, this smoke will clear eventually and is minuscule compared to the tragedy of what people are going through south of us right now.
 
I headed out in another direction yesterday, and once again found lots of interest and beauty. And some sadness — like boarded up empty old town centers. Most interesting — a cemetery dating from the mid 1800s out in nowhere, and a Carnegie Library in a village of several hundred (Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish-American who gave away lots of his wealth, establishing Carnegie Libraries in thousands of small towns in the late 19th century.

But the exhilaration and sense of well-being that comes from self-propulsion through new terrain all alone with me and my thoughts reminds me why I am chomping at the bit to get back to the camino.

My goal is that by the end of the year I will be able to take a ride as many miles long as I am old in years. Thanks for letting me crash the group with my biking pics!

On Sunday I made a trip to the Harz mountains. The trail is marked as "Oberharzer Klippenweg" or "Cliff trail of the higher Harz". Most of the Cliffs you can climb on.

9,9km and almost 500m elevation in 3h.

Even in the Harz you find places with stacked stones near the trail.

Smoke from the wildfires south of our border still here though lightening a little today with some sun filtering through.
Yesterday, here in the Boston area, a continent away the sky was hazy but I didn't see clouds. I think it was west coast smoke. I was better today.

Interesting that heather is blooming in mid September in Germany. It's an EU country that I have not yet visited, but assumed it would be into the start of fall like here in the midwest USA, so a surprise for me to see the new, unexpected heather...but what do I know.

Heather here blooms normally half August till half September. But due to the extreme heat everything was blooming ( and drying out ) much earlier.

Due to the heat lots of trees are already losing their leaves. Weird to see the brown leaves when today it was still mid 20 Celsius!

It's said that the best time for the Lueneburger Heide is from 8.8. to the 9.9., depending on the weather. If it is to dry, the blooming period is much shorter. But even on the last weekend some heather still in bloom on the Harz mountains. But that is a region with almost alpine weather-conditions.

I love heather and have so far seen it in France, Spain and Ireland, not England or Italy. I have never seen it in my own country even though I have travelled quite extnsively here. Maybe other of my comrads have.?

A wonderful walk in Kentmere
A sunny day with a very fresh and blowing wind
It was up and down over the peaks
More up than down at first

Down through a long valley path and at the end....hundreds of sheep on the path
The farmer waved us through and they scarped everywhere but remained locked in the pen
Looking back at the fells that we'd just crossed
A hard enough walk..9 miles..took us over 7 hours image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

I am making a start on the second leg of my camino route through Ireland this weekend - having walked the roads during the lockdown in spring (when it was safe to even walk main roads) to reach the border at Blacklion - now I am tackling the Cavan Way which goes through the amazing Cavan Burren Park and the Marble Arch Geopark

Another bike ride, which took me to the one quadrant I had not yet ridden in — NE. Turns out it was a bad decision because I had to ride home for many miles into a 10 mph wind from the south. As always, I went through several little villages — Royal and Flatville were my favorites, though one is appropriately named and the other not so much. Saw a one room school house from the late 1800s, a church built by German Catholic immigrants in the same era, and some gorgeous green/yellow fields. In the farm shot, you can see the haze on the horizon from the west coast fires. I’m about 2,000 miles away from them, about 1,000 miles closer than Rick is, so I guess it’s not surprising.

I’m about 3 miles away from riding my age in miles. :cool:

Really enjoy seeing these rural communities, Laurie. Amazing you can see the west coast wildfire haze!
 
Who doesn’t love the sea?

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
A walk to Grisdale Pike ..part of the Coledale horseshoe
There are a lot of horseshoes in the Lake District!!
Just when we thought we were at the top...we weren't!
Beautiful scenery all around and with The Isle of Man in the distance
Down by the vallley..about 8 miles, 6 hoursimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg
 
Today I walked down the hill to visit a friend and took this picture from her apartment window. I want to hike up Grouse Mountain (on the left); not do the Grouse Grind - which is quite literally a 'grind' - but do the BCMC Trail, a slightly longer, supposedly less steep route. If I can’t get anyone to hike it with me, I will hike it by myself ... but I think my daughter should hike it with me.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in the 2019 thread about all the lovely local walks.

Let's continue in 2020.
After my 2019 Camino I continued to walk 30 miles a week. In 2020 I'm walking over 40 miles per week. Here's a foggy picture from Long Sands beach, York Maine.

St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
Storm today in Ostend with speed of wind 120 k. per hour.

Three years ago my wife and I stayed in De Haan-Vosselag, just 4k from Oostende, for vacation in Fall.
It's was a really nice experience, the weather was perfect, 15-20°C and mostly sunny. Went several times to the beach, watching the horseriders and sitting on the beach, chilling.

A beautiful day forecast, and so it was. I walked the legs off myself. From Dunlaoghaire back home to East Wall. The train to Dunlaoghaire was empty so very comfortable for this Senior who should only be on public transport for an essential trip. Does sanity count??? I could hear Carlos, from the Camino Portugués: C’mon, Sandra! Keep going! And so I did. How blessed to have the conditions to be able to do so. Feeling fine, surprisingly. A few photos along the way.

A dull day so a circular 7 mile walk between the villages of Grasmere and Ambleside
The poet Wordsworth lived in Grasmere for years
A tranquil river
A stone Angel
A cuppa by the river halfway
Mist on the high fells and on the lake but no rain
Passed the amazing old mining caves at Rydal
Sheep grazing by the lake
We looked lovingly at the fells but this was not the day to be haring around them!!!image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

Hi Kirlie
essential travel ..for sanity...definitely! and we are all so lucky to be ABLE to walk/cycle
Indeed just getting out and about...city or countryside may have saved a lot of people's sanity
And all the wonderful photos posted here are a "tonic" also
