Kelvedon – Heybridge Basin, Feb 9th 2008

Photos from Kelvedon, Tiptree, and Maldon walk

WALK REPORT This was the second trial of my Tiptree cream tea walk. Still needs work to improve the route. Parts of Kelvedon are pretty, but the section from there to Tiptree lacks interest. Also, it’s a real shame that the old church at Inworth is kept locked – most of the country churches I pass on my other walks are open to the public, but not this one. Thanks to Anne and Cristina for help with trailblazing.

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]

Date 1 Mar 2008    

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.

Date 17 Oct 2007    

WALK REPORT A big thank you to Sumeet, Priya, Anne, Aleks, Russell, and Zac for helping me test out English Country Walks’ first overnight trip, to Somerset in the west of England. On our walk, we encountered lots of apples, mushrooms, wild garlic and snails, rode a steam train, visited Dunster Castle, spent the night in a cozy bed and breakfast, drank local ales and ciders, and feasted in country pubs. 40 shots in this set. Click on the montage below to see the complete photo stream. Comments welcome!

October Sun on the Seven Sisters

Date 11 Oct 2007    

WALK REPORT Photos from our most recent visit to Seaford and the White Cliffs of the Seven Sisters last Saturday. This time out it was just me and Joe, Dorry‘s brother. The day was crystal clear and we came home sunburnt – not bad for mid-autumn at latitude 50° North. 33 shots in this set. As always, your comments are welcome. Thanks! — DW [walk profile]

WALK REPORT Here are some photos from my test walk to Tiptree and Maldon yesterday. This time I went alone, and it was just as well, as I spent a lot of the day lying on the ground in attempts to get good photos of berries and mushrooms! 24 pics in this set – scroll down to see the full-size images.
