🌳🌸What a stunning few days it has been in the RV. Couldn't resist snapping this pic on my way to meetings last week! 🌳🌸 #photography #ribblevalley #forestofbowland #riverhodder #countryside #uk #britishsummer #summer (at River Hodder)

Would you, (a). Attempt to cross the stream forcing your way through the current, maybe getting feet a little wet. (B). Look for a footbridge that may or may not exist. (C). Give up & go home (D). Strip of & go for a swim. (E). Use the stepping stones & go at a diagonal with the current. #decisionsdecisions #riverhodder #troughofbowland #playtimeexperiments

Today's wander up and around Longridge fell, down Birdy Brow and along the River Hodder back home. It was a grey and drizzly day but it didn't dampen the mood of the walk, the 8 miles was completed in about 2 and a half hours and I got home feeling good. Also, the low cloud and mist in the valley made for some good photos and a peaceful walk; it's like walking in a world of your own when you get caught in low cloud. The silence is all around, your views are limited in all directions and, as long as your not dealing with crags, drops or wet scrambles, it can be really relaxing. 👣👍😁❄️🌁👌
