I recently went off for a wander to take in some of the colours of the season, get some fresh air and practice my Navigation work. I had some fun in this wonderful local woodland seeking out features on the map, using catching features, and practicing pace counts and timings on various terrain.

The problem was I was rather distracted by the trees. Bit of a busman's day out this one :)

A few pictures for you on a misty day.

A grand day out, and a nice change from driving about the county. Also I've been gathering some native leaves for a display as a learning tool for my daughter, so this walk came in handy, and I didn't get lost so something is going right for me at the mo :)

Addo :)

Cheers folks, glad you liked the trip.
Its days like this that clear away all the cobwebs, I love this time of year and I try to get out for a bit of a walk most days.
Managed to grab a few rose hips and make some syrup when I got back. Goes down well with my porridge in a morning.

Here's the syrup we made.
Only half full as its been added to the porridge each morning since made.

Just off out for a fungal foray so I'm hoping there's a few more interesting ones to learn about
