Roberts Rambles 2

It was sunny when I started but after a three mile road walk to South Bramwith some fierce looking nimbus clouds were assembling on the horizon and were producing a few spots of rain, but not enough for me to break out the waterproofs or dissuade these fishermen from their match...



I crossed the canal bridge and came across these new barriers that had been erected since last week when I was here.



The river bridge is usually closed in times of flood and a policeman is assigned to prevent any wouldbe crossers, but these barriers would save the overtime. There was also some major riverbank work taking place, it makes me wonder if they know something I don't......



It's usually pretty quiet around here, but this work had been going on since March, big job!. After a long uneventful walk along the canal bank, apart from a small downpour that did require the waterproofs, I arrived at this line of Ash trees and was surprised to see that they had only just started to bud. I think that's pretty late this year....



Time for reflection while it's quiet before I return to the village and the hustle and bustle, something I never can do when I'm running.....



Just six miles today.....

Another interesting walk Bob, which do you enjoy the most - walking or running?

By the way, who took your photo?

Can see your rambles are going to be an incentive to get out and about now that restrictions are lifted today and riverside pubs open.

Interesting pics Robert. Wish I could do the walks with you. Unfortunately my walking days are over. I look forward to more of your photos. Peri.

Thanks Mags...
Walking versus Running? A good question.....
Running and walking are like watching a film or reading the book. One takes longer and has more detail, but the story is the same....

Self timer on the camera Mags....

I've been walking in the shorts since March, and running in them all through the winter, Summer...
