Walks.

This is where I write about my walks. Sometimes it’s just a route I’ve taken, sometimes it’s more of a ramble — reflections, thoughts, or anything that pops into my head.

Most of the walks are with my dog, Elvis. They range from short village loops to woodland paths and other local spots in the Chiltern Hills and beyond. I usually include a few photos, a bit of writing about the day, and, if it’s useful, a link to the full route on OS Maps so you can follow it exactly as I did.

I like to try and get a new walks blog out on the 17th of the month, and for anyone interested in photography, I post photography-related blogs on the 3rd over on the blogs page. Feel free to sign up for the newsletter if you want to keep track.

Walking As We Get Older

Discover how walking evolves with age, shifting from a test of endurance to a mindful, reflective experience. Join me as I explore the paths of Buckinghamshire and the Chiltern Hills, and embrace the slower, richer joy of walking later in life.
