Martin's Mag.

We were in the Peak District National Park for a few days, during which time we walked around this lake. Actually a reservoir created in the 1980s.

We like a bit of post-industrial archaeology and, as Sal couldn’t remember having visited this canal before, we had to check it out.

Time to get the bikes out for a test run along the Pier to Pier Way (Clevedon to Weston Super Mare). This enterprising farm has seen a refreshment opportunity which we had to sample.

We’re fast approaching that time of year when work in the garden changes from encouragement to suppression.

Another of https://mikesbristolwalks.com/, this time in South Bristol. Novers Hill and Knowle West are thought of as sprawling housing estates, but there are plenty of redeeming features.

A stroll around our old stamping ground, viewing the volunteer-maintained reserve (and the badgers sculpture by Julian Warren https://metalgnu.com/)

One of the most powerful forces known to nature: two grandmothers working together.

We’ve been following a few of https://mikesbristolwalks.com/ recently. Having lived in the Bristol area for so long, it’s easy to assume one knows it all. Mike (Wilberforce) concentrates on some less glamorous, less well-known, areas. This was an area thought by most people to be entirely industrialised.
