Hard work pays you back in many ways. One is that a pint tastes so much better, and another is the wonderful views. I'd normally take these 9 miles in my stride, but snow and ice (not to mention being a bit out of shape) made the walk - not to put too fine a point on it - bloody hard work. Many more photos are on Flickr here:. And there...

These Boots Were Made for Walking. Diary of one chappess treading England's green and pleasant land. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. As I watched this JCB digging up this field with a very heavy heart, a lady at the bus stop asked me "have they started building the new shop? I told her that an application was in for hundreds of houses, a school, a shop and a health centre. But so far the health centre was the only thing that had permission, so I assumed that's what they had started to build. There are new h...

These Boots Were Made for Walking. Diary of one chappess treading England's green and pleasant land. Thursday, February 28, 2013. Don't mind if I do.

These Boots Were Made for Walking: Ivanhoe Way blocked south of Ashby
http://peacockmedia.blogspot.com/2015/01/ivanhoe-way-blocked-south-of-ashby.html
These Boots Were Made for Walking. Diary of one chappess treading England's green and pleasant land. Thursday, January 01, 2015. Ivanhoe Way blocked south of Ashby. I live in Ashby and it's been very difficult watching North West Leics council grant permission for one major development after another to be built on the green land around the town. I don't know whether it'll eventually be possible to get through this development and join the Ivanhoe Way just beyond - as I write this on 1 Jan 2015, half of t...

These Boots Were Made for Walking. Diary of one chappess treading England's green and pleasant land. Monday, August 19, 2013. Review - Craghoppers 22L daysack. I've been looking for my ideal daysack for some time and I've now been using the Craghoppers Kiwi pro daysack. For a few weeks and have worn it for 64 miles. In short I love it. It's comfortable and practical and I'll be using it for every trip from 5-mile leg-stretches to single-day challenges such as the Ivanhoe Way. The airflow system is compri...

That means the flat land around a river. It's designed by Mother Nature to flood when it rains a lot. Someone said to me w. In the distance here is Swark...
