Stiff and sore after walking 20kms on the Bibbulmun track from Sullivan's Rock over Mt Cook and return.
Lovely flat walk until the Mt Cook hut where we met a father and his young daughter who gave us the jitters by saying there had been Ticks seen around the hut. Eeek! We saw a couple crawling on the ground so that cut short our rest
Climbing up to the summit of Mt Cook exhausted me as it was now too hot but the marvellous views made up for it.
I would show some photos but don't know how!!
A warm smile and happy memories passed across my face and mind with number three, loved the other two pics too John!Beautiful sunny November day in the Mendip Hills area of South West England. In the third photo I met up with a familiar Camino walking companion.

Well done Seamus,An away day hike today in County Sligo with the Challenge Hikers, a demanding steep climb up to Ben Bulben and Kings Mountain with the slight drawback of having to work late on Friday so had to leave home at 6 am on Saturday to make the starting time. Link is to a Facebook album of photos from the day.

Lovely walk this morning in Clara Vale, Wicklow.
Lovely November morning.Leading a hike today for The Irish Ramblers Hiking Club, posted photos of the reccie about a month ago but ground was a lot heavier today after recent heavy rain and a straight forward river crossing a month ago took a lot of careful positioning, not as many shots today as I was leading.
Link is to a Facebook album of the photos I managed to take between falling into bog holes and serving as a crossing rope for the other hikers.

I never did it from Kilcoole but have done the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones both ways more times than I can remember. A really beautiful walk.Lovely November morning.
Bray to Kilcoole and back by the coast.

That all looks very familiar.As a change from yesterdays hike, today was a 27 km urban walk at a very brisk 6.5 kms an hour, my legs will doubtless be thanking me for such a weekend tomorrow. Not much in the way of scenery so mainly roadside sights. Link is to a F.B. album of today's pictures.

What a beautiful sky!Four hour walk on home trails and returning in the dark on Thanksgiving Day. Could have kept walking right out of town.
Keep a smile,
Simeon

Looks fabulous! Just can't beat walking by the coast.A two hour drive from where I live and some lovely walking on the North Devon coastline. This is the area around a place called Woolacombe. Lovely walk on a mild December day.

After yesterdays mornings hike in the Brockaghs and a 2 hour ramble last night after The Challenge Hikers Christmas meal took it nice and easy on Sunday with an easy 16 km walk around my home town of Dun Laoghaire, plenty to see so 2 batches of pics here.
So good you showed us them twice

This brings back beautiful and special memories from Muxia and Finisterre. Wishing I could go back and relive those memories, so much.
Looks fabulous! Just can't beat walking by the coast.
Plans to walk Haldon this week went sadly astray. The 'little wooden hill' (ie the stairs) proved enough of a challenge as we have both had flu, but fortunately not at exactly the same time.
No, I am not posting a photo of the stairs, and Yes, we will soon be back to strength and have something useful to share.
Thank you. One consolation was that at least it was not Christmas. Carol service next Sunday and then midnight Christmas Eve - and other choir members were also off sick this week for choir practice. So we should all be OK in a day or so....S0 sorry to hear you were laid low this weekend Tia hope you both get better soon and all systems are functioning for Christmas time do have a Happy Christmas.
hi supersullivan having problems looking at your pic on facebook it says:After 2 weeks off the hills with a bad lung infection, glad to be able to get out again at last, just a straightforward 18 kms along forest tracks at Mall Hill near Laragh but a few snow flurries brought a festive feel to the day.

No need for apologies, just happy to let you know there was a problem pilgrim!pilgrim b, my apologies, I had the FB album open to FB friends only, have changed now to public so you should be able to glance through now.
what beauties ... thanks soo much for sharing!We walked in the countryside at Pateley Bridge today there was a sprinkling of snow and the sounds of Christmas carols coming from the Christmas Fair in the valley below us. Such a beautiful day and me &
peregrino b thought it was such magical a moment.

Well, strange to say, yesterday I walked up the hill, up the steps and into the cathedral in Le Puy en Velay. On our way back home from Switzerland, decided to get the Cmino feel again, and with less than 100 sleeps to go! Wonderful old town, well worth a visit.I walked to the Vezelay routeI walked from home and over the coming 6 months I'm going to walk to SJPdeP in stages before I do the CF.
I walked 12.3km... no big hills so an easy walk... but I cant imagine having to walk another 8km before I could stop... I have a long way to go with my training!
Anyway - where did you walk today? You all live across the globe it would be great to see more photos of your local walks.
Seamus, stop putting the rest of us to shame.!https://www.facebook.com/supersullivan/posts/10203360711720792?ref=notif¬if_t=like
Some sub freezing temperatures over the last few days in Ireland have led to large stretches of upland bog having a frozen crust which I managed to successfully penetrateon more than one occasion on today's hike from Glencullen to Prince William's Seat and Knocknagun. Link is to a F.B. album of pictures from today.

We cross a lot of the same ground on our hikes, after St Patrick's Day and before I head to St. Jean at the end of April, we must get together for a little hike and swap Camino stories.Seamus, stop putting the rest of us to shame.!
I'm sitting here in front of a roaring fire with a glass of vino, shivering looking at the icy conditions on your walk.
I was working today. That's my excuse!!
Me too starting from Ponferrada in May, three of those guys in the pics asked if they can come with peregrina b and me. We said its OK but we all do our own Camino's so no pressure on any one! Ah supersullivan cafe con leche's I got caffeine withdrawal symptoms last year when I got home.Ah pilgrim b, we were out in very similar conditions today. I am SO looking forward to my 1st cafe con leche in warm sunshine at the end of April in Pamplona.

Is that the Art O'Neill challenge from Dublin Castle to Glenmalure?A bitterly cold hike today, even colder than last Sunday's hike but without the pleasure of fresh snow, mix of saturated upland bogs and hard frozen peat hags and managed to make a slight detour to view the source of the River Liffey, very hard work covering the 16 kms but my last hard hike before next Friday night's 53 km from Dublin Castle to Glenmalure. Link is to a FB album of today's pictures.

Crazy stuff! Have you done it before?
So pleased for you Annie it would break your heart not to be out on camino again (and I would feel the same), so the brace is working well and you are getting more used to it I expect. Thanks for the update keep us up to date with your news.I walked all around this 50 and over desert park, and have been increasing my walking time and distance a little each day. My ankle is healing, thanks to Falcon and the most excellent ankle brace he suggested. I'm hopeful I'll be back on the Camino by 2016 and perhaps even for a short stint this year. Hooray!
Well done to all of you. That's a serious hike in very challenging conditions!My hike today saw me leave Dublin Castle at 0.02 am and walk over the Dublin foothills and Wicklow mountains to reach Glenmalure Valley 15 hours 48 minutes later having covered 57.5 kms in below freezing temperatures all the day. Link is to a FB album of pictures from the hike. 3rd time I've finished this particular hike and every time I promise myself never again but each winter comes rolling around and ......

Well done to all of you. That's a serious hike in very challenging conditions!
I recognise Damien. I met him at the Wicklow walking festival in October. Hope it was nothing too serious that he couldn't continue.
You do know that you're all crazy!!![/QUOTE
I think Damien had just not managed to get enough hard hiking under his belt over Christmas and the New Year, no injuries involved.
My thoughts too. I think that was a seriously awe-inspiring walk, but somehow I think I will stick to somewhat warmer walk here in Oz.You do know that you're all crazy!!!
Your post brings back wonderful memories. I was in Dublin a year ago and, among other things, also visited the Guinness Storehouse. From the top floor (where Guinness serves up its brew) I looked longingly towards what I believe are the Wicklow Mountains ........ but time was short. I do so enjoy it when members post their pictures of their hikes in these mountains.I'm in Dublin today buying new boots so took the opportunity to walk from the city centre to Guinness Storehouse to suss out where to get my pilgrim's passport stamped before I go in May.
Met a nice Spanish girl who told me to come back any time and they would do it for me.
Also had a look at St. James church.
It was closed so just took a photo of the outside.
