WALK REPORT Last Sunday I organized a trial walk to a new destination for ECW – Stonehenge! My flatmates Aleks and Mai came with me. The day before, I posted ads on the online classified boards Gumtree and Craigslist, inviting others along to help test the route … and hey presto, bright and early Sunday morning at Waterloo station we were joined by Lucas (from Australia) and Thuan, who was over in London on business from San Francisco and had the day off from her crazy work schedule.
Leeds Castle and the Len Valley
Date 4 Sep 2007
WALK REPORT Pics from our walk in the Len Valley in Kent on Sunday. This time I was joined by two fellow Americans-in-London, my old friends Steve and Mike. Highlights included lunch at the Pepperbox Inn, a visit to the grounds of Leeds Castle, and a look inside the rural 12th-century chapel of St Margarets Broomfield (there’s something creepy in the basement!). 24 photos in this set.

ECW Bumper Magnets
Date 11 Aug 2007
My good friend Sue is helping to promote English Country Walks in the US, with these classy bumper magnets. Email me if you want one too. Apparently, they’ll stick to anything except Saturns (Saturns are plastic cars).
First two are version 1, this one is the more refined version 2. Looking sharp now.
Thanks Sue!

A Sunny Saturday in Sussex
Date 8 Aug 2007
WALK REPORT Pics from our trip to Bodiam Castle last Saturday. The weather was gorgeous and the food first class – so good that we couldn’t believe we’d spent two hours in the pub for lunch! Scroll down for the full-size photos with captions. [walk profile]
Adventures in beautiful Essex
Date 1 Aug 2007
WALK REPORT Thanks girls! Did we have fun on Saturday or what? Here’s a selection of photos from our Essex walk of last weekend. Liske, Laura, Sophie, and Kate joined me for a long, lazy stroll down the Roman River near Colchester. Our find of the day was blackberries. They’re out, and they’re DELICIOUS! Came home absolutely knackered after ten miles on the trail, with stops at five pubs. But it felt good. [walk profile]
Trial Walk at Tring
Date 30 Jul 2007
WALK REPORT These photos are from a test run of a walk I did on Sunday with Lizzie, Katie, and Jonny to Tring and the Ivinghoe Beacon. The Beacon is an outcrop of the Chiltern Hills that lie to the northwest of London; from it you get some amazing views out over the surrounding English countryside. Thanks to my St Albans friend Graham Williams for suggesting the route. I may incorporate it into the schedule as one of my autumn walks. Scroll down for the full-size images, with captions.
