Leeds Castle walk, 27 January 2008

WALK REPORT Photos from a walk we did on a crisp winter’s day in late January. Destination: Leeds Castle. There were six of us on the train out from London Victoria that morning: Sara, Ross, Liz, Miranda, Joe, and myself. The low sun and crystal clear skies made for some nice photography. 24 pics in this set.

Stonehenge to Salisbury walk

WALK REPORT These photos give you a good impression of what the Stonehenge and Salisbury walk feels like when attempted in wet conditions. Despite the mud and rain, Lassona and I had a grand day out, and I came home with a new and improved route for this walk. 12 miles, 20 pics:

Photo montage of a walk from Godalming to Winkworth Arboretum, in Surrey, England, January 2008

WALK REPORT Trial run of a walk I’m considering adding to the schedule, to Winkworth Arboretum, although it will probably be better to offer it in autumn, when the fall foliage is out. Route was Godalming – Tuesley – Busbridge Woods – Winkworth. Date: Sunday January 6th. With Ed & Sarah. 17 pics in this set.

New Year’s Day Walk

Author David Wenk   
Category Reports, The White Cliffs of the Seven Sisters, Walks   
Date 2 Mar 2008    

WALK REPORT Photos from a circuit we did at New Years on the Seven Sisters cliffs. It was a cold, drab day but it felt good to be out nonetheless. A big group this time: myself, Londoners Anne and Ross, Sally and Simon from Brighton, Si’s brother Martin from Tokyo, and Yoshi and Yuka from Orange County, California. Very few photos today – it wasn’t the best weather for it, and anyway we didn’t make it out to the cliffs until the sun had set. 16 pics in this set. [back to the walk profile]

WALK REPORT Still lots of catching up to do on the walk reports. These photos were taken late last year on my second trial run of the Chilterns route. Joining me on this walk were some of my Hertfordshire friends – David, Graham, Dale and Dominica – who met me at Tring station on a beautiful, crisp November morning. Add a comment …

WALK REPORT Rafi, Brad, Nadine – I bet you thought I’d never get around to posting these photos. Well, at long last here they are! They’re from a walk we did way back on October 27th, 2007 – our first attempt to put together a decent route between Stonehenge and Salisbury, following the course of the River Avon. Comments welcome.

I’ve still to finish editing the last three batches of photos taken on our recent walks. In the meantime I’m posting one shot here from each of those 3 trips.

All Saints Church, West Dean, East Sussex - Nativity Scene

The first shows the interior of All Saints Church, West Dean, in East Sussex – a Christmas nativity scene.

Terrier in the Chiltern Hills, November 2007

We met this little dog on a chilly day out in the Chiltern Hills last November. His name was “Trouble”.

Salisbury Cathedral by night

And this last is a night shot of Salisbury Cathedral. We walked here from Stonehenge.

More to come,

Design work has kept me away from English Country Walks over the past few days, so instead of a new walk report this week I’m posting a handful of HI-RES images taken on walks we’ve done in the last month.

These should be suitable for using as desktop wallpaper for your Mac or PC. Just download the file that best matches your display resolution. If you don’t know what your display resolution is, you can check it here (requires Javascript enabled).

Hope you like the photos that follow. Comments welcome. Enjoy!  –DW
