Walking in Hastings.

I managed to get out on a mid-week 11-mile walk last week to Hastings through the vast country park

Rye to Hastings

Walking at a pace

Hastings has a massive country park and it’s been a while since I had done a walk with a group. I have still to devise a few more new walks. I followed the leader on this walk. He didn’t lie when he said it was brisk.  I don’t mind walking miles but I like to stop a bit, to take in the views.

If I had been leading it I would have wanted to start in the town had lunch there and then start the climbing. This walk was pretty much pounding furiously by-passing the town and straight up to the cliffs and into the woods. Once we got out of the woods it was refreshing to have the open space and views.

It seemed to be over before it has begun and I decided not to follow the leader back to the station at 4 pm and just have a little wonder along the beach and watched the seagulls fishing!

British Summer Time

Summer doesn’t last long enough in the UK I wonder how we would be if it was summer all year? But British summer that is-so would include summer rain instead of winter rain and it would stay light all year round?!

How different it would be. summer isn’t  my favourite season but I always feel try to make the most of a sunny day, but then so do thousands of others, so it’s difficult to go to a beach or a pool without half the world showing up!.

Southern Trains

They continue to provide the world’s worst service.

Luckily I don’t commute into London, but getting anywhere on southern trains is a bit hit-and-miss these days. Another strike is due next week. I had a walk ‘pencilled’ in this Thursday around Southampton, I Considered the amount of projects I wanted to catch up with & the trains and unpredictable weather then decided to give it a miss.

LONDON – OH LONDON!

Sometimes you just want to walk about and I Have been doing a lot of that in London.  Even just deviating a bit from the beaten track and you can feel like a tourist but away from the main hub.

Keep on keeping on

It’s a funny old world!
