Where did you walk today?

[Arminius]

Have made this sunsets along an ancient Roman road in Gotem: (Borgloon) and not far from "The Chapel of Helshoven" in Gelmen (Sint-Truiden)-a well-known and frequented place of pilgrimage in honor of Mary, Queen of the joyful peace.

Gorgeous photos, Arminius!

Well, I got up at 5 and took a 25 minute walk around the park. It was cool and dark and complete with hooting owls.

Then I sat on the front porch with my coffee and watched the sun rise.

Life is so good, isn't it?!

I think I will stick to this regimen for a week; 25 min on land in the morning and 20-30 in the pool in the evening to strengthen the ankle.

So far so good.

Enjoy your walks - the good life - nature.
Enjoy each others.

Anniesantiago, I wish you well!

A very short walk (just outside of my house ) to watch the eclipse and the Super Moon. A perfect clear night.

Slower is faster. Had a good workout early this morning under foggy skies--the sun came out as I arrived home. September was a productive month, missing only three workouts due to travel. Overall: Good month.

Hi Arminius, we both are so privileged living in this beautiful part of Belgium!

Indeed Sabine. Limburg still harbours some beautiful nature (a rich history) - rolling landscapes (no mountains ).
The greenest of Flanders' provinces!

With such beautiful weather we went for a walk on the fringes of Dartmoor. Very reminiscent of the Camino Inglés, plenty of hills and good views.
For those in Devon:- if you can walk this one you can walk the Inglés, therefore also the Primitivo or other Camino.
A few pictures here, the rest on the blog Walking Around
The path comes down to the gate, over the stile and straight onto the stones across the stream
Haytor from the hilltop
The track through the woods back up to Ilsington

We should arrange an autumnal picknick somewhere in between our two minor Loonse hills...

My propose is: you can bring bread & cheese and I go to the vintner .

 

[pilgrim b]

Today I jogged for 20 minutes in the swimming pool!
I'm taking it easy, breaking in after last year's injury - hoping to walk this year.

So pleased to hear that you too are on the mend and getting back to your beloved walking Annie. Wishing you well as you take care of your injury, keep your hopes and dreams alive, may you be blessed on your journey Buen Camino Annie.

beautiful evening walk back strand Tramore Ireland

 

[NualaOC]

Nice walk yesterday from Holywood to Bangor Co. Down, on the North Down coastal path. This is a great trail for a stroll or a jog and a good alternative to the usual tourist suggestions for Belfast.

 

[SabsP]

Walked a leisurely 9 k today in Fumal: Promenade des chevreuils ( Walk of the Roe Deer ). Fell this week ( not whilst walking but at home tripping over a deconstructed bed..say no more so easy going on the walk with the help of some Voltaren gel ).

 

[Arminius]

[NualaOC]

A good weekend here for walking - cold, crisp and sunny.

Yesterday - Slieve Gullion, Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland. A nice walk to the summit, panoramic views
and an interesting megalithic tomb.


Some traffic congestion this morning on my trail run in the Belfast Hills!

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

Walked about 25 km. along the seaboard today. The weather was nice to.
Wish you all well, Peter.

 

[SabsP]

Half hour stroll around the house.Still recovering from this stupid little fall.

Good looking places! Thanks for the video. I have Ireland in my to-visit-listing. Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

This morning I did an hour of water aerobics, then I thought I'd take my first walk out into the desert.
I left about 10:00 am and was back in half an hour, sweating like crazy.
The ankle seems to be doing fine, but I need to leave earlier for desert walks.
It's still quite hot here!

I'm currently on the Camino Castelliano-Aragonés, which joins Gallur on the Ebro and Santo Domingo de Silos on the Ruta de la Lana. It's a great camino, but goes through some empty spaces, so today I found myself doing 48km between dawn and dusk, the longest camino day I've ever (deliberately) done, between Ágreda and Fuensaúco. Saw some wonderful things - three Roman fountains, a couple of impressive towers and about five Romanesque churches, all with the squat grandeur of Montcayo in the background.

Goodto hear your improving Annie seems to be a bad year for pilgrims this year (I'm "Down a bit" waiting for two opps around Christmas time) doesn't stop me walking though, so I am more fortunate than some poor people. Here's a couple of pics I took yesterday in Derwentwater Cumbria.

Indeed Peter. A very nice Dutch mill. Zeeland; the province of water - the Dutch trubble with the sea (winternight of 1953).
Peter, houdt de wind in de zeilen!

Another nice little ramble in the Mourne mountains - Slieve Commedagh, Hare's Gap and a few other little ups and downs.

We recently joined a walking group, to do some 'proper' hill walking between Caminos. It has been a great way of varying our usual routines. We are normally pretty lazy about pre-Camino training.

10km minor rural roads

Nice autumn colours, Déise.

This thread has become a great advertisement for walking in Ireland, Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands I think we should all ask our respective tourism bodies for sponsorship!

 

[SabsP]

Only five k today at local Groot-Gelmen. Late night and being 46 years old = bad combination to do a long walk. But hey I crawled out of my couch didn't I... And a glorious 19 degrees Celsius on this first day of November.

Wish you well, Peter.

3 mi stroll in the early morning fog at Hickory Creek Park , Arkansas Ozarks ,

 

[SabsP]

Another glorious day. In Wanze this time. Almost 12 k.

 

[Kanga]

Its been a while since I've checked in on this thread - I like to see it on my full size computer screen, rather than a mobile device. It continues to be a delight. The world is a beautiful place. So many glorious photos.

 

[Deise]

8k after the rain - Waterford

Suir Valley walk being worked on at present - will be 40km walk/cycle track to Dungarvan.
the train track is for mini-train for children of all ages.

 

[Deise]

Damp 17km - place called Slieverue Co. Kilkenny

 

[pilgrim b]

The water in the ford in the bottom was running in spate (two feet deep) and made it impossible to cross to the path vanishing around the hillside!

 

[SabsP]

Met up with my Dutch buddy whom I met on my first Camino.
We always arrange a meeting halfway our two towns.
This time Antwerp with the beautiful central station.
Walked, talked and had cafe con leche.

 

[Arminius]

Anvers! L'union fait la force - Concordia res parvae crescunt - Strength lies in unity!
S., I hope that you have a splendid day!

 

[Deise]

Nice cold , clear day. Walk alongside river

 

[SabsP]

Finally no rain and ghastly wind but sun. Explored a local track.

 

[SabsP]

Six k. to and from local bakery. Dry but very windy.

 

[dougfitz]

I did a short walk in the Wadbilliga NP near Cooma today. At this time of year, many wildflowers are past their prime, but this little Native Lily was still looking good. The other shots are of the track into the lookout, and Tuross Falls.

 

[domigee]

Wonderful pictures, thank you all, such a great thread I had almost forgotten about

This was yesterday in Kent (around Toy's Hill), 10 miles, 4 hills and ....clear skies! Such a beautiful day.

Tried going cold turkey and managed almost 2 months without posting pics but as Oscar Wilde said: 'I can resist everything but temptation'. From an easy beginners hike I led today near Laragh in County Wicklow at times over some very wet ground in misty conditions:

Burning some Christmas calories
Glorious 14 Celsius, really too warm for this time of the year.You can see some tentative sprouting on the fruittrees. This will be a disaster for the farmers when temperature will drop !
Also a pic of the roman villa landmark :

 

[NualaOC]

Early morning St. Stephen's Day walk in the Belfast Hills with my neighbour - no views due to the fog and rain.

I feel suitably virtuous after this little bout of exercise, so I can now spend the rest of the day on the sofa with a book . The family can eat Christmas left-overs for the next couple of days - this cook is officially on strike.

 

[Leaningforward]

A short walk past Amish farms in Lancaster County, PA (USA), where I was more likely to be passed by horse drawn buggies than automobiles. A slower, nicer pace through beautiful countryside.

 

[LiesbethSA]

Walked on my farm with the dogs yesterday - step across a huge Python in the footpath - luckily it just had his Christmes dinner and moved very slowly and reluctantly! Today it is raining and because we have just come though a very hot and dry season we just sit and watch the magic of rain!

 

[SabsP]

Main church in town being restored and a beautiful light on today's walk.

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

We had a early walk in the South of Holland ( Limburg ) today.

Wish you all well, Peter.

 

[Wokabaut_Meri]

As my rehabilitation progresses, I've been allowed out W-A-L-K-I-N-G again but under strict rules ho hum...

Anyway, our local beach is fabulous with the reef visible and a yacht on the horizon. Everyone was at the shops for the sales today so that it was relatively deserted. I walked in the surf break, Fox whistle in hand, watching for sharks as my hubby swam (you can just make him out) in training for the annual Jetty to Jetty on Australia Day. This is the same beach where we found our scallop shells and Cruz de Ferro stones.

 

[dougfitz]

I went walking in the local National Park today with my grand-daughter. It wasn't too hot, but we did want to find a spot where we could cool off after our walk, and this pool was great, if a bit chilly! The dragonfly stopped long enough to have its photo taken.

Stunning photo, Rachael.

And yes, a new thread is a good idea. I find that the current one takes a while to load, probably because it has 7 pages of photos.

This is one of my favourite forum threads - I really enjoy walking vicariously with all of you!
