They're half that cost here.

I use a web site called www.bikehike.co.uk You get the map on the screen and click along the route with the mouse. It adds the miles up as you click. I find this is quite accurate.

I can't remember when I was last able to walk that far. I think 5 miles is about my limit now, thanks to arthritis and even then I'm stiff as a board and have inflamed knees for a few days afterwards. <br />Thankfully, my Border Collie has turned 10 years and also prefers shorter walks! <br />Yesterday we were clambering around Kit Hill, Callington (Cornwall) and the wind was so strong it made it difficult to keep upright - but the views were stunning. 360 degrees of far-reaching panoramas under a blue, blue sky; the air was so clear I could see Dartmoor, the Tamar estuary and right out to sea. Finished off with a very welcome cup of coffee at the little, busy cafe on the approach lane (and trying to ignore the wonderful smells of breakfast/dinner cooking)<br />Thank you for all the lovely photos.

What a beauti...Good morning Ilona from House fairy.<br />What a beautiful day it was yesterday.I had the washing blowing on the line.<br />Glad you got out for a walk. It is just a shame you do not live near me. Our golden retriever is always up for a walk.<br /><br />Here, I am trying to declutter. A difficult task. No one wants to throw out their stuff.<br />Well, I cleared my desk of paper and sat by the coal fire. Some paper was blessed into the fire and some kept in my tidy box. <br />The tidy box is made from an old cereal box with a lovely large birthday card I had stuck on the front.<br /><br />I went up Tesco late in the afternoon. We needed some milk. Looked in the reduced, as were other people. I think people are learning how to cut down! We picked up some bread and 4 organic oranges. The oranges were 4 for a £1. Instead of £2. Nothing much else reduced enough. We looked at the chilled but not much reduced in price. <br />On the way home I admired the pink in the sky, hiding behind some dark clouds.<br /><br />Well, on with the chores. Keep moving and keep warm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-44647267427744566712013-02-03T10:49:29.520+00:002013-02-03T10:49:29.520+00:00Lovely photos as usual Ilona.

My cheeks got sunburned, but then I am translucently pale! :D. Fish & chips are a rip off here, too.

They look cow-like but they have fur!??? I guess I'm not up on my farm animals. Sounds like you had a lovely day out walking. It's so cold here! I haven't been able to walk outside for quite some time now. It was 28F here at the highest temp of the day with a little brisk wind blowing. Makes it feel even colder.
