The Isle of Bards and Saints

Picture of Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) off the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales on New Year's Day (yesterday).  A superb walk from Abedaron following "in the footsteps of medieval pilgrams".  Walk 15 "Snowdonia, Anglesey, Llyn" pathfinder guide (sheet 10).

Newport and Debden Boxing Day Walk 2010

Another great country walk.  The snow, ice and light was fantastic.  Only 6.5 miles but absolutely gorgeous from beginning to end. 40 minutes away by car from Newham.  It is even relatively hilly - for Essex.   Only fell over (spectacularly of course) once due to ice.  Lots of crunchy snow for most of the route.  Check out Pathfinder Essex Guide (Walk 20).  The last time we did this walk was only 2 days after the 2005 7/7 London bombings.  I wrote at the time "lovely to get out to beautiful, peaceful countryside".   Posted other photos of walk on Facebook.
