Well, not here but my husband and I have come across quite a few black bears during our interior camping trips while canoeing. We had one peering in a tent window. Our dog barked at it and it ran away. We’ve had them cross in front of us while on our hiking trails. It gets the blood pumping that’s for sure.
Of course we haven’t done that in a while. Canoeing and kayaking yes but not interior for weeks at a time.

Re: Easy walks

Todays walk....over the railway bridge while the 11:49 from Hull to Doncaster was passing beneath...



I popped out from the wood and spotted a beautiful field of Oil seed in flower...Beware the dark skies behind though...



On to the lane and some peace and quiet after the walk down the busy A18...



Always my favourite part of the walk, and it's the same route as my early morning five mile run....



The last part of the walk, over the railway and back home. With plenty of sunny spells and no rain, a perfect walk.

Re: Easy walks

Hi

Urban Walks for me when I was working.

Urban walks again when I moved back to Shrewsbury, a beautiful historic town with so much to see and explore.

How times have changed.

A walk round the local supermarket was challenging yesterday.

Thanks Bratti, the lane is just at the end of our road and it takes you right out into the country. Miles of open space and arable farmland punctuated with the occasional wood. I used to wander here as a boy and it hasn't changed much since then.
