I went for a rather invigorating walk this afternoon. I think it was actually one of the coldest walks I have done ironically when you think we have had various storms etc the last few weeks. My hands actually got very cold and I wished I'd worn my gloves! Quite a contrast to this morning when it was relatively mild.
I decided to go down to the local bay, and passed these sheep along the way.
I think I found a badger sett.
Down in the bay.
I sat and listened to the tide rolling in for a while.
I decided to walk back along the coastal path.
St Catherine's lighthouse in the distance.
I haven't walked that way yet, so might do that next time I walk down to this bay.
The coastal path is slipping away. I hope it doesn't completely go.
It doesn't look very steep in this photo, but was steeper than it looks.
Looking back at the cliff which is where I walked the other day.
Another badger sett I wonder?
What remains of the old Royal Air Force radar station and bunkers that protected the south coast during the war.
Looking back from whence I came
Looking forward to where I am headed.
I am glad I went out for the walk, although cold it was an enjoyable hour and a half and almost three miles.
It's a beautiful place you've moved to and your walks certainly throw up some interesting things. Great that you are able to get out and about and enjoy the scenery. Keep well. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is indeed a beautiful place and I feel so blessed. Fortunately I should be able to continue getting out and about as there are few people around. I did see two people yesterday but they kept their distance and didn't even say hello, which is most unusual! You keep well too.
DeleteI am enjoying your walks on the island, my parents lived there for 42 years. I was there in November and had a lovely coffee and cake at Ventnor Botanic Gardens. I love the views along the military road.
ReplyDeleteWow! Whereabouts on the island did they live? Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a lovely comment. The views along the Military Road are just incredible aren't they?! The Botanical Gardens are a lovely place to visit and have a tea/coffee. Guessing they will now be closed for the foreseeable future :(
DeleteYou have so many interesting places to go walking. I am quite envious! :)
ReplyDeleteOh NZ has so many interesting places too! I am missing my trip home to see my parents this year, but I am thinking that it turned out for the best with the travel risks.
