Further afield

As summer progresses we are now permitted to travel further afield. A gentle walk in the Peak District was called for but this was easier said than done because many folks had the same idea and it was difficult to find anywhere to park. Eventually I found parking in the woods next to Ladybower.

I couldn't wait to get back to Anglesey! Some short easy paddles in the sea, coastal walks and simply enjoying the scenery that I had not seen for ages.

Most of all it was all about meeting up with friends, getting out on the sea and messing about in boats! Having the canal close by had been a lifeline during lockdown but being able to take in the sea air was heavenly.

Now that campsites are opening it's all about enjoying the warm summer weather, spending the evening round a campfire with a beer or two and sleeping in a tent.

Lately I've been heading north into the Yorkshire Dales and further into Southern Scotland to test myself with some gentle hillwalking. The waterfalls and woodland of Swaledale around Keld are captivating.
