Have you walked the Herriot Way, @Annette london? I walked it 3 years ago, and enjoyed it very muchOn Nidderdale way from Pateley Bridge to Lofthouse
Lovely grassy paths and pretty villages
At Wate village we visited the smallest Methodist church in England
We met the warden who told us the history of the church, an irregular pentagon built in 1859
The warden then was Joseph Kipling, grandfather of Rudyard Kipling
This stretch of the walk is also shared with the 6 Dales trail
The little Dales bus took us back to Pateley where afternoon tea was enjoyed

Yes, we’ve walked it mostly as day walks from the various dalesHave you walked the Herriot Way, @Annette london? I walked it 3 years ago, and enjoyed it very much
Memorial flowers on a seaside bench is something I saw along the english coast also -from Ramsgate to Eastbourne. There was even one with a yellow on blue camino symbol attached. I've forgotten where, though...A lovely fresh morning heading south east on Dublin Bay. Long years ago, this area, in the video, saw multitudes of working class Scots have their seaside holidays in Boarding Houses. Long before airbnb. The lady of the house might cook, or the visitors might have brought the food from across the sea! They were simpler times.
The flowers were placed on a bench, which I imagine, was a favourite spot of the person whose memory is remembered on the inscription of the bench.

Hello @Annette londonHi Lovingkindness,
Your post from Banbury Cross reminded me of the nursery rhyme we used to sing to the children
“Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To meet a fine lady upon a white horse
With rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes
She would have music wherever she goes”
The horse being a pretend hobby horseView attachment 176121
Does the link coincide with the St Swithun's way from Winchester cathedral to Guildford ? - a nice walk. I set of in snow one winter. The North Downs were magnificent in the cold.Sunday 18th I am walking the Downslink from home to Guildford, mostly an old railway route, now for cyclists and loony day walkers like me. Mid 30's miles and coming back the same way Monday
Photos to follow
not sure will investigate. From me it would be the South Downs Way to Winchester and the Downs link does cross the South Downs way nearer my end. Yes both Downs look wonderful in the frostDoes the link coincide with the St Swithun's way from Whinchester cathedral to Guildford ? - a nice walk. I set of in snow one winter. The North Downs were magnificent in the cold.
The trail passes by a house where Jane Austen lived for a while. It is now a museum... i think there is a memorial to her as well, in Winchester Cathedral.not sure will investigate. From me it would be the South Downs Way to Winchester and the Downs link does cross the South Downs way nearer my end. Yes both Downs look wonderful in the frost
St Swithuns way goes from Winchester to Farnham. Might have to look into that 1 more as it's not too far for me
Kia ora @LeslieCTibetan bridge from Sellano to Montesanto, then hiking the San Giuseppe Trail to Cascade della Rota, and tail from Montesanto to Lake Vigi and back up to Sellano. Near where I live in Umbria, Italy.
Making the most of the last days before school starts again
Bus to the local park to feed the ducks and squirrels
Through the walled garden and onto the “Magic carpet” and some moves on the roads
Nothing wrong with their knees
Back to high street for lunch and a 10 minute ride to the forest for blackberry picking.... View attachment 176821.....
Well I guess this completes my training for next weeks Camino.
Hi there @Annette londonWonderful scenic walk through Lathkill Dale, Bradford Dale and Cales Dale
There seems to be more Dales in this neck of the woods than the Yorkshire dales
The first Dale saw a rockfall at some stage and the path was slow going over wet rocks from the rain last night
Then the river suddenly appeared and was wide and fast flowing in the Bradford Dale
Coffee at Hendon
Little waterfalls and weirs along the way
Going down and then up Cales Dale was hard enough
Then it was back by the well marked Limestone way where we passed an ice cream parlour like we’ve never seen before in the farmers yard
There was a fair amount of money in the “honesty tray”
Today, we walked part of 3 “Ways”
The Hope pilgrim way from Ilam to Edale
The Peak Wesley way, a 6 day organised walk where pilgrims live as a community and stay each night in churches from Matlock to Edale...

Well... normally on a long day's ramble, if there is a pub anywhere between the start and 8 hours ahead, I will indulge in a Sticky Toffee Pudding with lashings of thick cream and hot custard. Some days that is all I can think of for the first two to five hours crosscountry -a sugary zing in my veins. Walking through the British countryside without a pudding, or at least the hope of one, is depressing.What do you call the bun? Parkin? Eccles cake?
Guten Tag Pilger!!! How different the Mosel River looks at the end of summer. So very green.We had some beautiful walks along the Mosel river and the vineyards.

Last year I reported here on a walk with miniature birdhouses marking trails.I followed the Mosel one winter in search of bird boxes painted with a yellow camino arrow. A Pilgerman named Carl whose quaint idea it was, had strung little refugios there from tree to tree near Engelport Kloster -a guide for those on wing and foot.
Hello @ShoshTrvlsAs I may have mentioned before, since walking the Camino I’ve taken to participating in half-marathons (the ones that allow walkers) as the distance is roughly the same as a Camino stage, but without the rest breaks.
Yesterday, I walked in the Bird-In-Hand half-marathon. Bird-in-Hand is in Amish country, with beautiful rolling hills and farmland as far as the eye can see. The half-marathon is considered one of the best in the country because of the scenery and the incredible participation of the community in the event - from a firepit s’mores party the evening before, to manning the water stations during the race, to a barbecue lunch after. And the finisher’s medals are made from horseshoes from the farms.

Never heard of it!Hello @ShoshTrvls
... do you know of the Ptaškowa swajźba? Every year the ancient Sorbs of East Germany and Lower Poland have a 'Birds Wedding' festival. Having walked amongst the Bird-in-Hand folk how about a wedding!
There is a pilgrim trail which passes for a few days through Sorben towns and villages. here's a link- The Ecumenical Pilgrim Trail.
Cheers!
In my childhood the saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" always seemed to be spoken when an engagement was in 'the air' ie marry the one available, stop pining for the unatainable....Bird-in-Hand gets its name from two surveyors who, in 1734, were surveying the route from Philadelphia to Lancaster. They were getting close to their destination but were tired, unsure whether to push on or not. They then came upon Inn, and decided to stay the night because, as the saying goes, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." And hence the place where the Inn is became Bird-In-Hand.
A rather apt story for the Camino, in fact!
That would be about 20 years ago.Did you go anywhere near Schweich?
