One Man, Two Dogs, No Idea
Where I work, I am lucky to be able to have an hour or so when I can get outside and walk. During my break, I walk laps of a quarter of a mile around the site and am always contactable should I be needed. It can get a bit monotonous but I counter this …
My good lady wife had kindly agreed to pick me up from my favourite watering hole after work. We agreed on 7 o’clock. I wanted a 16 mile walk which would take just under 4 hours to complete. I decided to catch the train to Wilnecote, Tamworth and walk from there. The 14:49 from New …
Be warned Nothing too exciting today. I went into work with my other half then headed for the Rea Valley back towards Kings Norton. The Worcester and Birmingham canal was followed back to Birmingham making for an 8.3 mile walk. I did spot an interesting sign as I entered Gas Street Basin. I suppose with …
Halfway through my six days off stint. I had arranged to meet my other half from work in Moseley. I would be walking there but felt like something a bit different. After pouring over the charts (sounds better than looking at Google maps) I hatched a plan. I caught the bus into Birmingham then the …

I work shifts and the way the shifts are configured means that I am now off for 6 days. Coleshill & Water Orton Up early for a 6 miler as I’ve got a bit of a busy day ahead of me. This particular route I have done many, many times and was my first proper …
Smiths Wood After finally getting over a bout of Man Plague (worse than the dreaded Man Flu), I decided on some fresh air. Nothing strenuous, today, just a gentle stroll around the local streets. It was drizzling which was quite refreshing as I completed the nearly 4 mile walk in 53 minutes. I felt OK …
At the end of May in 2016, I shall have completed my first ONE HUNDRED MILE walk. There, I’ve said it ! Let’s put it another way…On Saturday 28th May 2016 at high noon, in Weymouth, Dorset, I shall take the first of many steps on a circular walk of 100 miles. The route showing …
Mr. Dizzy On nights at the moment and found myself with a break coming up. What shall I do for an hour?Trainers on and off for a walk. Now I need to be available, just in case, so I couldn’t stray too far. Luckily (?) a walk around the outside of the main building is …
