Hiking
An uplifting lunchtime stroll in the classical landscape of Richmond Park, wandering amongst the deer herds, screeching crows and parakeets but under the rumbling superjumbos roaring off from Heathrow airport.
The coast path around Cap Ferrat, hiking between villas and the Mediterranean with views across the Bay of Cannes towards the Esterel.
Views and Textures from today’s Sussex stroll in the sunshine: Cuckmere Haven is a pebble and flint beach where the River Cuckmere flows into the English Channel. Views of the chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters freshly white from the erosion and ravages of this week’s storms.
Outlined by snow, How Gill on Skiddaw Little Man (865 m.), seen through mist and some sharp showers.
Wast Water, one of the least visited and least developed of the Cumbrian lakes. It’s a natural lake so at the foot of the steep scree the sides of the glacial U valley slope gently in to the lake. Wasdale Head seems to be known mostly as the start of one of the routes to the summit of Scafell Pikes.
