Today we were back with the Cambridge Rambling Club A team for a walk led by Debbie. It was a bit of a jaunt to the starting place, 35miles from Cambridge! but 17 of us made it to the start. With me giving my shorts the first airing of the year!. Twas a glorious spring […]
I recently had O2 unlock my iPhone prior to me transferring my number to T-mobile. I wanted to test T-Mobiles unlimited internet and texts for a tenner a month. All went well until…. I’ve now discovered that putting the iPhone into flight mode locks me out of the iPhone totally, insisting that it has to […]
The A team were back in action today! Rita ably led the Cambridge Rambling Club on its first walk of 2010. A 14mile circular walk starting from Orwell then across the fields to Whaddon, Dyers Green and lunch at Wimpole Hall. In the afternoon we scaled the heights across to Eversden and on down the […]
Todays little walk was with the B team of The Cambridge Rambling Club, ably led by John, we set of from Great Shelford and ventured across to Haslingfield. We did quite a bit of road walking which with the mud and ice was probably just as well. Our lunchtime drink was at the Little Rose […]
Our friend Ellee has just done a great blog post on The Wonders of Walking. Tis a pity she wasn’t with us today as Sally and I had a beautiful walk with the Cambridge Rambling Club. The leaders for today should have been Margaret & Larry. However, due to the icy road conditions and because […]

Today’s travel blog is a ramble with the Cambridge Rambling Club. We did a 14mile figure of 8 centered in Newport, Essex. It was an warm autumn day, exactly 3 years since I met Sally on the fateful Nar Valley walk. The colours on the trees were truly splendid, especially when the sun came out […]
Here is today’s little 11 mile walk around Les Gets where my apartment is. We walked around the main skiing area of the Chavannes with a steep climb upto Tete du Vuargne above the Ranfoilly lift at 1825metres. Interestingly there is a major project of adding more snow cannons underway on the Nanchetts runs and […]
Finally managed to correctly geotag all the 744 images I took off the stiles and gates on The Offa’s Dyke Walk, A few stiles are missing from near Prestatyn (before the idea came to me) and some gates in the early stages are also missing, when I was undecided as to whether they should be […]
Exactly one week ago I set of walking Offa’s Dyke on the English / Welsh border. I’ve been blessed with good weather so today I find myself in Hay on Wye with 139 miles walked, according my GPS and another 50.5 to do according to the Harvey Map I’m using. The scenery is magnificent heavily […]
