I'm lucky enough to have some very nice woodland local to where I live.

I have recently managed to get my wife interested in the outdoors so we took a nice hike today along some of the local trails with our 6 month old daughter.

Here are some pictures we took along the way.

A shot looking back at where we had come from. There was a horse riding show on at the time.

A bit of a tricky negotiation to get into the valley due to old and fallen trees

Some lovely blue bells I believe.

The recent rainfall has caused this to happen.

There has been some improvement to the local pathway and it's nice to see.

Looking back down a stream flowing down the valley sides. Lots of iron in the water.

The exit of our hiking journey but the entrance for someone else.

All in all we have had a really good days hiking and we only stuck to on of the main trails. There are plenty of side tracks leading away from the main trail. I plan on taking my son down here at some point soon, going off the beaten track and having a night with nature.

Thanks for that. My wife is now starting to really enjoy getting outside and just spending time walking together so we will be doing more of this for sure.

Nice interesting walking to be done there, lots of different landscapes & things to see..........that bridge looks fun too:D

Looks like the weather was ideal as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah it was a very nice day and the landscape is very nice indeed!

The good thing is that the main trail we followed has a lot of splinter trails for the more adventurous of hikers, so in time I'll be going off the main trail and exploring more and more.

The other good thing is that I've lived in this area all of my life so I know it well.

Yeah I borrowed this one off my sister but bought one off the bay over the weekend for £12 posted. Can't beat a good bargain.

I have a little bush crafter/climber on the way in 7 weeks, give him/her a few years and we they will soon be out and about!
They will soon both be old enough mate and we can get the bell tent out and go explore!
