After decorating all weekend I was supposed to be putting all the furniture etc back into the rooms but the sun came out so thought I would head out for a local short hike. The forecast was sleet, overcast and cloudy so did not want to venture too far. The wind was freezing but the rain kept off and the sun was in and out so went a little further than I thought I would go. All in 4.20 miles in a steady pace taking 1hr 22mins with only 140ft of climbing. My route was roughly 97% away from roads / trails/ tracks etc and only the first / last short section taking the same path. Below are a few snaps, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
