Trip to @Cusworth_Hall with the family. Lovely walk around the lake, coffee, and found these bizarre fellows! Also found the secret recipe for chocolate concrete from my 80's school dinners' childhood. #yorkshire @MyDoncaster

Today's wander was an hilly 18 miler, picking up the North Downs Way after many years. Started in a foggy Cuxton, crossed the Medway bridge, then up to the downs. Saw darkage burial chamber, lots of sunny views. Now passed half way stage on NDW. @NorthDownsWayNT @NationalTrails

#FingerpostFriday spent the early afternoon in Hertford @Drex80 seeing exactly how much of the original #NewRiverPath is walkable now @networkrail have needlessly closed 2 level crossings -turns out not much b4 finding padlocked gates-we did find a decent alternative route tho

[Drex @Drex80]

Today's wander along the #englandcoastpath was the 15 mile Canvey Island loop. Deserted beginning and end of the walk but busy around the beach! #essex @NationalTrails
