Watch out for lambs!– Trail around Broadwath

Mud, daffodils and lambs along the footpaths. Spring is sunny and muddy in the English countryside

Footpaths and bridleways make walking and running fun – you don't have to follow the roads. But all paths in England are not yet officially recorded.

Dancing down to Liverpool

After driving by the sign that announced I was now in England without even having to slow down let alone being stopped by border control, I stopped worrying. This was my first time crossing the border. First time in Northern England.

Sun is shining and trees are turning, I’m starting to believe in urban summer.
Starting to look like spring, finally, and I’ll need to get used to real rock again. The ”easy” stuff kept me busy, no confidence to climb the highballs quite yet…

I was supposed to go to Russia this month. Now it’s not an option. My cousin had to come back from st Petersburg as things were getting too difficult and dangerous for foreigners, and the ordinary people in Russia are facing major changes in their lives. It is not the same as being attacked and having to run for your life but the war affects people on both sides. And it is all happening so very near just now, just across one invisible border. I’ve written more about this on my blog - link in the bio.
