Pyford

I had the opportunity to visit my parents on the bank holiday weekend and I managed to convince them to come out for a walk on the Sunday afternoon. It was helped by the promise of a pub half way along but in the end they really enjoyed themselves.

We visited a village called Pyrford near Guildford, where our walk took us through the village, over some fields, over a golf course and along the Wey Canal. It was a beautiful day too and was well worth it. My parents even seemed keen to go on more walks next time I visit.

A Walk Around the Cricklade Countryside

Living in Swindon, I had always noticed a little town called Cricklade just up the A419. I had driven through it on my way up towards the M5 a couple of times and had always thought it looked like a pleasant place. So, this Saturday, I decided late in the day to pay it a little visit.

With my map in hand I set off on a gorgous 5 mile trek along the Thames path, disused canal and old railway line, through fields and quaint villages. The weather was cool but sunny and it was late in the day which meant less people and more peace and quiet.

I was on my own for this one so it gave me an opportunity to listen to some Christian teaching, reflect and give my parents a call.

Donnington Castle

Today was beautiful. After all the snow and cold we have had recently it was a pleasure to wake up to proper sunshine. So, what do you do on a rare Saturday like this? Go for a ramble of course!

After a short drive to Newbury it was time for a 3 mile Hike around some lovely, early-spring countryside.

The highlight of the walk had to be Donningtion Castle…
