Walking the Cliff Path

Saturday morning was wet and damp, but it soon dried up when the sun came out so I took advantage of the afternoon sunshine and went for a walk along the Cliff path this time.  Another photo heavy post I'm afraid so if you want to trawl through them, you might want to get yourself a cuppa first!  Hang on a minute I think I might take my own advise so I have a drink whilst I go through them...  


I walked up the Cripple path that I went on the other day to get to the Cliff path...I stopped briefly to take in the view through the trees.


I decided to take the path across the fields to the neighbouring village.  No crops yet.


Approaching the village


Getting closer.


It is a lovely little village and one we contemplated when we were house hunting, but nothing suitable to our needs and wants became available.

I stopped in the local shop which is very well stocked, and bought myself a Mint Magnum.  It was very tasty!


I partly retraced my steps and then headed along the cliff path.


Such magnificent scenery.


I loved zooming in on some of the properties.  It was interesting seeing them from a different viewpoint.


This was looking down the cliff, but didn't really show the impression I wanted to give.


Waves crashing on the rocks.


Blossom on the hedgerows.


Yellow fungi, such a pretty colour.


More fields.








I didn't realise I had cut this off when I took the photo.


Can't quite see the light house...well I saw it, but didn't capture it on film.


I did manage to take a photo of this though in the far distance.


Carrying onwards...


More teasels.


















A good couple of hours and I think I walked around 4 miles, but it was very hilly in places.

A Saturday Stroll

Or rather hike!

The sun came out this afternoon, so I wanted to take advantage of it, despite it being rather blustery!


Just look at this view!  It could almost be New Zealand!


I decided to try a new walk today...aptly named Cripple Path!


It was fairly steep, although not too bad.


Just look at this!


What a great place to place a seat.


Perfect place to sit and watch the view a while.



I just loved this, and to think it is virtually on my doorstep is amazing.


The walk carried on up the cliff face.


To some fields.




Another seat was placed in the perfect position to admire the views.





You can see how wet it is from all the rain we have had.



Oooh tunnels!


Not quite what I was expecting, but still interesting.




I got caught in a brief shower of tiny hail stones on the way home, but it cleared up again.  One advantage of being so close to the cost is the weather changes quite quickly.

I do have to giggle at the step app on my phone...apparently I did 34 floors today.  It says I did 4.2 miles, but I am pretty sure it would have been close to 5 miles.
