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 .

Another walk just inside the Cotswolds starting from the small village of Elmley Castle in the county of Worcestershire. The walk was around and to the summit of Bredon Hill and for views turned out to be one of the best walks we have done. You will see rolling countryside and also views for miles covering the Malvern Hills

his was a walk we had done many years ago and enjoyed immensely. Its a nice ten mile walk through some of the Chilterns best countryside and best done on a sunny day. We weren't disappointed when we were met with a lovely blue sky so with sandwiches packed we headed for the start point Tring Railway Station

Walk number 5 down the river Thames and nearly 50miles done, however a long way to go yet !. Another section of the River Thames walked on the first day of April. We drove down to Hampton court station and parked the car up for the day for £6 - on a Sunday you can park for just £2. We found the easiest way to get to Richmond the start of the walk was by public transport, just take the train to Clapham Junction then change trains to Richmond using South West trains cost about £4 on the Oyster card.
