That picture with the bird on your finger is amazing ....I showed it to Charlie and he was really impressed ...you have an affinity with birds I thinkManaged to have a good two hour Sunday morning walk before the wind and rain set in.

A beautiful day so Scafell Pike at 3209 Ft was calling us....perhaps for the last time am sorry to say
It was a tough trek up and took us eight and a half hours...walkers pass us going up...and going down...but like the Duracell batteries, we keep going !!
Walking through water, over boulders,and up scree paths......it was hard at the last stage up to the peak....and even harder coming down....old bones you see.. and if broken, don't heal easily!!
Fantastic scenery with mountains all around and valleys below...flowing rivers after so much rain and of course the many lakes
Scafall Pike is part of the 3 peaks challenge in the UK....often done for charitable purposes and involves climbing the 3 highest peaks within 24 hours
Ben Nevis in Scotland at 4413 feet
Snowden in Wales at at 3560 feet
Scafall Pike in England at 3209 feet
Now that would be some walk!!View attachment 84873View attachment 84874View attachment 84876View attachment 84877View attachment 84878View attachment 84879View attachment 84880View attachment 84881View attachment 84882View attachment 84883
Thank you Chris...for these walks, age ...and old knees are not our friends!Incredible accomplishment, Annette!
Congratulations. But it would have been a lot easier in Celsius. It won't be long now when I'll be 21 again.I reached my goal of cycling my age!
Hubby sometimes bikes his age...on an E-bike! I still prefer walking!Congratulations. But it would have been a lot easier in Celsius. It won't be long now when I'll be 21 again.

Any photos Robo?Around my back yard
Though we are creating our own version of Phil's Camino, just a heck of a lot shorter! Like 80 metres a circuit.
Just 10,000 circuits to walk a CF
Robo, you can't get any more "local" than your own back yard!Around my back yard

Do you wear your backpack with the rice cooker?

I can commiserate, because I have walked three virtual Caminos (and I'm in the middle of the 4th) in a single partly covered hallway — back and forth back and forth over and over every day.
These are actually from two days last week. Maybe it's sense deprivation, but I thought the patterns of evening light on the tiles, and on the plants outside was very nice...
I think I need to take a few of your meditation classes cuz I could never do this!I can commiserate, because I have walked three virtual Caminos (and I'm in the middle of the 4th) in a single partly covered hallway — back and forth back and forth over and over every day.

Thank you!Btw, love your photos.
More pretty pictures of more great hikes — Annette, what is your average driving time to get to all of these many beautiful places? Are they all day hikes from home or are you taking a few days at a base and hiking from there? Just curious, and more than a little jealous.A beautiful days walk to the base of Great Gable but did not go up this time
Wide open fells with Buttermere, Crummock water and Wast water in the distance
Some paths waterlogged after 2 days rain
A visit to the working slate mine at the Honister pass with some slate works and a replica of a shelter often found in the mountains
A verse chiselled into a slate plaque
A via Ferrata that's popular with some behind the mine!
On my iPad, no problems. In fact there is a huge improvement. Much easier now to see all the beauty captured and shared...I don't know if this is happening for anyone else, but when I clicked on photos in the latest post on this page (10), the photos kept scrolling through all the photos on this page that have been posted by other people, from @Annette london 's post #901 through to @ranthr 's post 924.
Just checked - This is happening on other photo threads as well.
Hi Laurie,More pretty pictures of more great hikes — Annette, what is your average driving time to get to all of these many beautiful places? Are they all day hikes from home or are you taking a few days at a base and hiking from there? Just curious, and more than a little jealous.
Buen camino, Laurie
Hi ChrisI love your pictures, Annette! I hope to visit that area of the Lakes district when covid gives us a breather.
Gorgeous photos and your hiking stamina is amazing!...Wow!Hi Chris
It will
And you will..
Today a walk up to Cat Bells and beyond
Morning over Derwentwater
Glorious Autumn colours on all the fells
Some steep paths with some scrambling ...and a little friend with his mask and sanitiser waiting to greet us!!!View attachment 85148View attachment 85149View attachment 85150View attachment 85151View attachment 85152View attachment 85153View attachment 85154View attachment 85155View attachment 85156View attachment 85157
back down the valley with tumbling waterfalls and fast flowing rivers
Picturesque green fields
@Camino Chrissy had a question about inserting thumbnails or full size pictures in lieu of a small picture with file information written on top. I experimented and have the answer at https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...oto-at-a-time-part-3.68436/page-4#post-878139Walking in my neighbourhood today. (I don’t know if I understand the new way of posting pictures...)
Fantastic @Icacos !! Congratulations! Grouse is a doozy!A few weeks ago I posted a picture of my local Grouse Mtn and expressed my ardent desire to climb that mountain. The weather forecast for today was clouds with no rain so off I went. It took me three hours to climb what others indicated should take “about ninety minutes.” I could not have done it without my poles. Took the gondola down.
Thank you @Theatregal (and @kirkie too.) I am quite elated with my endeavours. I noticed, when one fellow passed me on the trail (everyone did) that he was doing the ‘rest step.’ I spoke with him briefly. He said he had endured both a heart attack and cancer. Said he was 74 and was “not giving up.” He left me in his dust.Fantastic @Icacos !! Congratulations! Grouse is a doozy!

Looks like it would make a nice bonfire one day.

Beautiful, where is this, @chrissy?Early fall color on my favorite lake trail a few days ago.

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin... a favorite of mine. I've walked around the 22 mile perimeter lake path a number of times, but usually just do various several mile stretches.Beautiful, where is this, @chrissy?
I thought that was likely but I was hoping there was some lake closer to me that I had never heard of.Lake Geneva, Wisconsin... a favorite of mine. I've walked around the 22 mile perimeter lake path a number of times, but usually just do various several mile stretches.
Well if there is one to be found, I am sure you would find it on your bicycle rides,I thought that was likely but I was hoping there was some lake closer to me that I had never heard of.
That’s my home area. Did you call in to the Puffer? In my childhood it was the police station! Now, a pub.Great walk along the forth and Clyde canal, Friday was glorious, the hills are called the Campsie Fells In central Scotlandand the stretch east to west, so lucky to be surrounded by such beauty
No Kirkie, if I sat down I doubt I would have got back up, And it wouldn’t have been the beer, had gone out to Kilsyth and back to the briggsThat’s my home area. Did you call in to the Puffer? In my childhood it was the police station! Now, a pub.
Wonderful photos and post in your Wordpress blog, @kirkie . A lovely ode to the "urban walk".Oh, how nice it was to set off with the image of the canal in my mind's eye! It was not long before that was sent to the background by a most spectacular sunrise, eking out its appearance second by second. I was not the only person unable to walk because of capturing it, either with the eye or a camera. It has taken me a wee while, but here is a link to a Wordpress post with some of the photos, and two of the photos just to tempt you! I edited a lot of them, but in the heel of the hunt, they have decided to go in as they were taken. I hope this link works...if not, just close your eyes and remember one you have already seen!
Lovely photos of Dublin! And a reminder of what lies ahead on my planned camino route from home (with catchingthe ferry in Dublin)....but that is all on hold with level 5!Oh, how nice it was to set off with the image of the canal in my mind's eye!

A day late, but never mind. The banners were still there. Yesterday was World Poverty Day, as celebrated by the 4th World Movement. So, this is for Pili. A well trodden path for me gave me a feast.…kirkie47.wordpress.com
You did well my friend. I have yet to walk more than 22 miles in one day on any of my five caminos. OTOH, I wouldn't want to have to walk just 5+ miles the following day because I pushed myself oo much the day before, but kudos to you, Buffy!A bit late to the thread but about 1.5 months ago I attempted to walk a portion of Schuylkill River Trail
I started at Pawlings Rd Trailhead (mile marker 23.3) which is on the outskirts of Valley Forge NMP and set out to d\t Philadelphia; the goal was 30St station where I would catch the regional train back home.
Unfortunately that day I didnt make it as after 18.5 miles it was as if I got hit with a sledge hammer... and all I could do is to sit down, call DW and ask her to come and get me
you can see the progress of that walk here:
SCHUYLKILL RIVER TRAIL HIKE
2 weeks later I was successful of meeting that goal when I did 24.6 miles total (yes to get to afore-mentioned 30St Station I passed mile marker 0 - the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the famous Rocky steps) in slightly over 9 hours total time (which included a 45 min lunch break)
I know that most likely than not there wont be too many 24+miles Camino Days (well perhaps 1 or 2 on the Meseta) but its nice to know that I was able to crank it out.
(I did a 5.5 mile walk the following day... I still need to do couple of "long" ones back-to-back)
I'll take some pics at the weekend.
Today we laid the 'Senda' section up one side of the house, that requires negotiation around the hot water system and Air Conditioner unit !
Right this minute, these are such a treat before I face into a zoom till lunchtime!Before winter sets in, I took the gondola with a young cousin up my local mountain and we hiked for a bit in the very rough terrain of the sub-alpine. Glimpses of nearby mountains, frost on flora and a visit to the resident grizzlies, one of which was enjoying a cold soak.

I think I remember that old crane. Not too far from Guinness Brewery? (I lost all my photos from that holiday.There are many working cranes around Dublin Port these days, as the building fury rages on to fill up every square inch of land from the city to the sea. It was peaceful today, a bank holiday. The crane in my photo is decorative. A witness to slower times. I did not have to mutter bad words behind my mask as I was out too early for the majority of the runners.

How great to see pictures of where you actually are!Today, communing with the ripening bananas, and coming in from walking in time to help with another daredevil fruit picking session, from a big Vi-apple tree. Two guys on the roof of a nearby building were pulling down whole branches with a rope with a long bamboo pole. So there was a bit of a mess to drag away.
There may be another one near Guinness. I will check it out. If there are other spots that you would like a photo of, within 5km of my home! I would be happy to try to get some of them for you.I think I remember that old crane. Not too far from Guinness Brewery? (I lost all my photos from that holiday.)
That’s very kind of you @kirkie, but I live in constant hope that my pics will eventually show up somewhere buried in my computer files. In the meantime, please keep posting photos of your walks. I really enjoying seeing them.There may be another one near Guinness. I will check it out. If there are other spots that you would like a photo of, within 5km of my home!
