Training Walk - Sunday 3rd March 2013
Leaving the house, with the dog, at 08:30 I went up to the trig pillar on Wideford Hill, it was cloudy but I wasn’t expecting any rain and there was just a light breeze.Looking south to Scapa from Wideford Hill |
Coming off the hill down the road past Heathfield Farm then left and right onto the Bloomfield Road
The path to Hesti Geo |
It must have been a couple of years since I was last down this way. We have had a good settled period of weather and the footpath along the cliff top was fine & dry and two of the fields were being ploughed.
Looking to Scapa Distillery |
Here I took the track up the side of the hill through Fea then crossed the main road onto the bridleway.
I was now on my daily dog walk route, I did think about continuing on the footpath to Inganess but decided to keep my boots clean (there had been some very muddy patches on the path on my last two trips down there) and just head for home.
I got back to the house for 12:15.
A 12 mile trip in 3 hrs 45, carrying a 12 Kg pack.
