my first trip report,
this evening ill be working the "graveyard shift" so i needed to get out for a walk
I needed to lose some weight, at the beginning of January last year I weighed 24 stone
Mrs bones says I've lost too much and that I've become obsessed with exercise
I've definitely lost quite a bit
the walk started from Ashton, i was walking down the path of the dismantled railway line towards Park Bridge.
at first theres houses on each side of the path, its shared with walkers, cyclists, horses, and dog walkers
the houses dissappear, and theres views over fields to the surrounding hills
the view as i got nearer to park bridge, with Hartshead Pike in the distance
Park Bridge
the canal in Daisy Nook country park
lovely swans
Crime lake
two old relics from the past
at this point i had a sit down, it was below freezing today, there were patches of ice here and there, i was chilled to the bone, and the cold gets into my joints and is rather painful at times
i guess no trip report would be the same without the obligatory selfie
the walk was 5.6 miles
i hope you like my first trip report thanks for looking
