This would be Day 8 of our holiday and looking at the weather a great one for heading up high. I’d prebooked a cable car to Col Raiser before heading to Italy, but the booking on this cable car was for one use across the whole summer period, so we could choose the best day.…
So we were on Day 7 of our holiday and it was time to move to somewhere new, the Dolomites. We grabbed a train north from Bologna station heading for Bolzano, where we would change to get a train further north to Ponte Gardena. As it was we worked out later on, there is a…
So our previous walk had been to see the lovely Holwell Bluebells and a nice sunset, with warm sunshine up until it went dark. This walk still had the warm weather and the sun breaking through later in the walk, but it was mainly in the trees, so no suntans on this walk. The area…
This was walk number 2 of our visit to the Brecons this year and this one was one I’d see recommended on lots of websites (a bit like walk 1 around the 4 Waterfalls). Again this was a short distance of barely 4 miles, we weren’t in a rush to get round so took our…

This post was something that I had thought about when I got that 10 year anniversary message earlier this year, I’d also passed 750,000 hits on the site as well, so I thought that I should do a celebration post to mark the event. Its true that I started in 2015, mainly out of a…
So I’ve completed a few walks over the years that have had plenty of insects, mainly butterflies, in the pictures. I make no excuses for the next three or four walks, where they will be inundated with butterfly pictures. This walk on the Dorset coast extends my coastal path efforts further east, pushing it towards…
