Whale Watching

Out on a boat whale watching. It was a great adventure.

Pennine Way (Hawes)

 

We drove to the pretty village of Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales to walk part of the Pennine Way. Its a great ambition of mine to do some of this walk. This heads North

 

 

We had a great day for it with good weather

 

 

There was quite a big trout in the river as well as tiny fish

 

 

I thought I would send Nikki a photo of her almost finished Stag Hoody I made for her

 

This was my 58th Birthday Walk. 2 years ago on this day I was walking on the Great Wall of China. Another great wall!

 

 

I haven't so far seen lambs in Scotland on my walks. There were loads down south. Lovely to see!

 

 

 

Not sure why Pete put this photo in?

 

This was a beautiful interesting knitting shop in Hawes.

 

This is just like the knitting pattern I've been knitting for my nieces

River Forth, fishermans path

From the fishermans car park at the town side of the Craigforth M9 crossing, over the bridge and turn right along the river. This part of the river often gets flooded so I thought  I would do this walk today as it was dry.

I walked along this bridge which is not the prettiest of sights

The water was so still

There is a substantial path used by the fishermen

 

This is The Weir Bungalow across the water

There were hundreds of small fish at the water edge. I was informed by the fishermen they were minnows

It was very peaceful walking along the side of the Forth

 

I think this house across the river is Old Mill Farm

 

Oh... the hills look wonderful

Looks like there was an old bridge here?

A peaceful spot to eat my lunch

The path continues along the riverside but I'll leave it to another day
