Grey start today, but when the sun came was beautiful hiking through autumnal forest, passing small streams & falls.

Saturday 19 October 2024

More random sightseeing: autumn forests and saying hi... erm... moooooo!... to cattle at the Col d'Aspin.

Thursday 17 October 2024

When a visiting mate loses his drone flying from the house! Bush bashing in steep forests & eventually found it. Yay!

Tuesday 24 September 2024

Part 1 of today's hike: down to the waterfall source of this levada, through lush forest & past fern walls. Magical!

Sunday 22 September 2024

First part of today's hike: Levada do Furado all to ourselves. Didn't see a soul until we were almost back to start!

Thursday 19 September 2024

Beautiful view North from Miradouro da Encumeada. You wouldn't think anything untoward had happened from this, but...

Tuesday 25 June 2024

Easy hike through pine forest carpeted with buttercups to Belvedere d'Arpy, which has an amazing view of Mt Blanc!

Saturday 1 June 2024

Evening stroll @ Embalse de la Cuerda del Pozo (aka. lake by tonight's camp). Kindof chilly at almost 1100m altitude!

Tuesday 28 May 2024

Today's ride: beautiful Basque loop. Plenty of little villages, lush forests & of course not a flat road in sight!

Sunday 29 October 2023

Too cloudy for mountain views this morning, although not saying that's bad! Beautiful & misty here after sun up too.

Monday 2 October 2023

Short but steep hike through mostly shady forest to Passerelle d'Holzarte. Cool suspension bridge over a deep gorge.

Monday 21 August 2023

Bit misty on this morning's stroll. Love me some sunburst action smile

Thursday 15 June 2023

Heading back downhill now. Back through more beautiful forest. First time I've seen purple pine cones!

Thursday 15 June 2023

Heading out of Wengen on a little hike today. Up into the forest for the first leg...

Monday 12 June 2023

Magical walk in Gorges de l'Areuse. Found randomly looking at maps years ago happened to be passing by today. Lucky!

Wednesday 1 February 2023

Beautiful forest snowshoe above Payolle. Didn't see anyone else, but did see couple of wild boar in there. Awesome!

Wednesday 22 June 2022

Rain & fog cleared by noon so: so much for a rest day. Mind you, this little forest hike was still pretty relaxing smile

Sunday 1 May 2022

Today's ride: beautiful route from Spanish coast through vineyards, forests, hills & back. Springtime perfection! smile

Wednesday 2 February 2022

Stopped for a little walk on the way to the supermarket... as you do wink smile

Thursday 3 December 2020

Today's ride: Beautiful trundle through autumn colours, inc. this section of forest dirt. Yes planned, not lost! tongue

Thursday 16 April 2020

One of our usual walks from home 'in the forest'. You can just about make out our village church on the ridge there.

Thursday 3 October 2019

Little forest walk to the shore of Brombachsee.

Monday 26 August 2019

Today's ride: big col stats (100km/1,800m+ vertical) sans big col. Cruising endless miles of empty roads like this.

Sunday 8 October 2017

Strolling through woods this arvo. Autumn is coming... but these trees are putting up a fight smile

Thursday 25 August 2016

Wondering around in the woods near Payolle. Still pretty warm in the sun so it's nice to be in this shade.

Wednesday 13 July 2016

Woodland walk this evening. A little bit late in the year for flowers, but there's still some colour in here.

Saturday 9 July 2016

After a large lunch on a warm day nice to go for a walk in a wonderful, shady, cool forest. Lovely and quiet. Magic!

Friday 1 July 2016

Out in the woods next to 'home' with the dogs. One is too shy for photos, the other clearly an attention seeker! wink

Thursday 12 March 2015

Few random hillsides we passed. Amazing how locals get terraces on these. Was same (or even more crazy) around Bromo.

Thursday 12 March 2015

More than just a waterfall - short but nice forest walk to get there. Too short really though, I'd gladly see more.

Sunday 27 July 2014

Wasn't all mountains & lakes, we also passed some beautiful green forest & streams. Today really did have everything!

Monday 13 August 2012

Evening walk near Holzleiten. Very nice, but sadly the light was poor so a chance to mess around with HDR smile
