Month: August 2024

And so another wonderful collection of pictures (or photographs as we professionals like to call them) from Mandy. The instructions for this walk were clear: Meet near the church (NN17 3EA),  for a walk via Cadge Wood, Hostage Wood and Blatherwycke. Now for anyone not a regular of these...

The pictures from the Castor Walk on Sunday 25th August 2024 are alongside these comments.  They were taken by John B. Wiki tells me that Castor is a village about 4 miles west of Peterborough city centre. It was considered part of  Northamptonshire until 1888 and then Huntingdon and Peterborough from 1965...

Pictures by Mandy; odd notes by Tony Now let me say at once that the map on the left has not come out very well – so it isn’t your eyes, nor it is the original map.  It is just that the computer system doesn’t like this sort of...

Pictures from Janet and Dawn.  Total mess of a meandering commentary from Tony Attwood (so no change there).  Horror story from local newspapers. Full of bravado and general chit chat about how I know all this technology stuff and can put up pictures hither and thither, I wrote to...

Part 1: Wittering Words and Pictures Part 2: Into the depths And this, in case you have lost count, is part 3. My last report ended, you will recall, at a gate which revealed signs of the tributes left by a long forgotten civilisation that wish to be remembered...

  Pictures by Tony Attwood, on the grounds that no one else was taking any as far as I could see, and commentary is, well, probably that matter should be left unresolved…   But I should add it is perfectly acceptable just to look at the pictures and be reminded...

The village of Wittering dates back at least to the year 972 when it was known as Wiðeringe, the home of the people of the Widerigga tribe who were listed in Tribal Hidage as being in the area from 600 to 900 AD. I am told that the local...

Pictures and commentary by our man on (or in) the spot. There is a strangeness about Wakerley Woods, or indeed to give it its full name Wakerley Great Woods. For there are several websites that proclaim they are “all about” Wakerley Woods, but most contain little information.  It is...

The Forest Bathing walk: part 2 The Wakerly Woods Walk with Forest Bathing part 1 was published here In this collection, the photographic evidence comes from Simon Bradford while the commentary comes from someone who was wearing a brown t-shirt and managed to get himself at the front of...

  Words and pictures by Tony Attwood.  If we could have music as well that would also be by Tony as well, but we can’t so it isn’t.  And let that be a lesson to us all. Thus we gathered at the start of the new month of August...
