Another walk along the Thames path and closer to our destination at Cricklade. This walk was about 8.78 mile along a flat well marked path along some glorious real estate and parkland settings

It was another wet Saturday so with nothing to do we headed into Milton Keynes with a visit to Stacey hill museum. Displaying rural exhibits and old things long before MK was here . Entry fee was £9 each and if you pay gift aid your tickets will last 12 months.

Croome Court is a property owned by the National Trust and is in the county of Worcestershire England. Inside the grounds you will find the large house also a Church and the normal gift shop. It was not a bad day out however Idid find the house a bit drab but its worth a look.

We have visited this old place before however can find no log of it anywhere. This visit was done on a scorcher of a day so we took a picnic and drove along the back roads in Northamptonshire . You can visit the house on a timed ticket but are free to visit and walk along the gardens at your pleasure, there is also the Gift shop to help take cash from your pocket.

This was a great 12 mile hard walk in 30deg heat along the river thames from Hampton Court to Staines. We drove down to Hampton Court Train Station and parked there, its £6 on a weekend you can pay using Ringo on your Mobile Phone. To get to Staines took a bit of planning and for this we used the Great App Citymappe, this will plan all your London area journeys by Bus, Train, walking etc

A Great 3 day visit up to Cumbria where we climbed some iconic fells - Great Gable, Green Gable, Grey Knotts, Brandreth & Blencathra. The weather was also kind to us with just a few gales on the top. We also managed to get a couple of National Trust properties in as well .
