Hi LesBrass,
The picture is 2 years old, but I was at the same place today: it's one of my favourite walk, around 9 km long and 400 m uphill (and down, from the place where the picture is taken...).
WOW - I would never tire of looking at that!
I'm with you Gailsie. Terrible winter in Nova Scotia and it has really affected our training routine. We are due to start from SJPP in 9 weeks and I need the snow to stop so I can get at least semi fit!No snow in any of these photos, and then I look out my window!!! Unfortunately no walking for me today as there was church, then a lenten discussion group and supper preparations. Maybe Monday or Tuesday. A heavy snow warming for Wednesday night here - oh dear, when is spring going to arrive!!!
HOLLAND !!!!!Great idea!
Here are a few of my walk today in the dunes and beach near my home.

I am hoping to walk Porto to SdC at the end of April/beginning of May, plans to be confirmed after my next eye specialist appointment. I have been walking a few times at the local indoor track but I am not found of walking in circles without scenery. Good luck in your preparations. I walked about 3/4 of the Frances in the fall/09. It was a wonderful experience.I'm with you Gailsie. Terrible winter in Nova Scotia and it has really affected our training routine.

Susanna, thanks for merging this thread with the one of the local walks!
I love the ears in the foreground. Can we see who they belong to?Walked Thursday in the mountains around my home, and rode my horse Friday and today. Walking a long one tomorrow.

I walked to the Vezelay routeI walked from home and over the coming 6 months I'm going to walk to SJPdeP in stages before I do the CF.
I walked 12.3km... no big hills so an easy walk... but I cant imagine having to walk another 8km before I could stop... I have a long way to go with my training!
Anyway - where did you walk today? You all live across the globe it would be great to see more photos of your local walks.
What a brilliant thread!!! Last week I walked up onto Brean Down, a high down that juts into the sea at the south end of the beach in my hometown, Weston-Super-Mare. Had a pre-Roman hillfort on it once, and now has the ruins of world war fortifications ... marvellous up there. One can see Glastonbury Tor, over 20 miles away from the top. Met some goats up there too! Walking alone along the spine is the best!

I am SOOOOO pleased to hear that!I walked as every Sunday on Sierra de Madrid, a mountain chain accesible in only 50 minutes from the capital. My walk yesterday was only 10 kms nothing special , but the good news is that we are in Spain in spring right now. So, the mud in Camino Inglés, Portugués, etc, will dry soon.
We all just use what we have, I would have ben very happy in the Sierra Madrid todayStephen, today in Madrid we are looking for the shade (sorry for emonty). In Santiago today 20º C and sunny. But....
according to weather forecasts this next weekend Winter returns in Spain, 2 - 10º C on Sunday in Santiago and light rain. Stephen, weather in Galicia in May God knows. What I say is just now probably the mud is almost dry in Camiño Inglés, so, please don't sue me.
Amazing places for training (Grand Canyon, Australian beaches, Scotish borders ....) I was proud of my humble Sierra de Madrid, but now I almost depressed
Hey! That doesn't count .... unless you claimed an Ikea Credential or Compostela! [But they don't even sell compost in IkeaI love all the photos and hearing about 'your day'... today I think I walked around 17km... around IKEA
I live in southern Norway, and have the wildernes across the way, so this is my training area, and I love it]
Great idea for a thread?
I'm lucky enough to be able to walk in a variety of terrains nearby to where I live.
Some of my favourite routes are in and around the Mendip Hills in SWEngland.
Here's a couple of pics to give you an idea of how lucky I am.
Buen Camino.
Use the upload a file button at the bottom.I also love this thread!
It might be the final nudge for me to figure out how to include a photo.

Could almost have been Galicia.....until you look at the lower flora:

Spent some time there and the Tetons last summer and I am willing to go back anytime.View attachment 8808 Yellowstone National Park!
Now this looks like what I see out my window - snow, snow, snow, and another huge dumping expected on Wednesday - yuck!!!!View attachment 8808 Yellowstone National Park!
It not only counts, file it under "time well-spent."Yesterday's bush walk (with pack) left a few sore muscles. But as we're only in the Blue Mountains for the weekend I had to see a bit more. Does a walk of a kilometre from the car park count? This was the resulting view. View attachment 8844
Lovely idea. View attachment 8626
Essex coast, just down the road from us. Attempting to teach our retriever how to retrieve.

Hope you have better luck than I did with my black lab. I throw the ball, and she looks at me. Then I go fetch
