Bed and Breakfast

Through the #walk1000miles2016 Facebook site I am going to try to collate some information on reasonably  priced comfy B and Bs  for walking breaks. Watch this space! If it works it may save you trawling get the website for some recommendations if you fancy a weekend away

April Monthly Walk

We had 15 walkers and 3 dogs join us for our monthly walk. The sun shone and we welcomed some new faces. The walk followed footpaths and lanes crossing lamb filled fields , through Frogham and and Barfrestone , returning across fileds with lovely views of Fredville Park.

March Walk

12 walkers joined Roy and me on this month’s  walk. We met at the cafe in Elham and completed just over 4 miles through wind, rain, sunshine and hail – but enjoying a varied landscape of hills, valleys, woods and deep cut lanes, and some very early bluebells.

February Walk

There were 21 walkers and 2 dogs , Poppy and Dotty, on our February walk. It was cloudy and cool but the chatter was bright. Over the 4 miles we covered several different terrains – footpaths,lanes, fields, woodland and a main road.

January Walk

There were 13 walkers and a dog on our January walk. After all the rain we stuck mainly to the lanes and enjoyed a 4 mile walk around the parish of Nonington, taking in Butter Street and Nightingale Lane and through Frogham.

December Walk

21 walkers and one dog had an enjoyable ramble to Bonnington and then used part of the Serpentine Walk around the edge of Goodnestone Park to visit the Ice House and then returned to Nonington via Cherry Garden Lane

Wet Walk

It was a wet November walk for 8 walkers and one dog but we got some fresh air and exercise and enjoyed a chat on the way round. I’d been out the day before and found many wild flowers still flowering! They seek him here , they seek him there but I spotted the scarlet pimpernel ( poor man’s weatherglass ) still flowering.

October in the New Forest

I’ve just had a lovely long weekend walking in the New Forest but I would recommend it at any time of the year – miles and miles of paths in open country and forest to explore with roaming ponies, cows, donkeys and even pigs. Who could resist the lure of exploring places on the OS map called Broomy Bottom, Marrowbones Hill and Eyeworth Wood?

September on the Isle of Arran

We’ve just spent a week walking on the Isle of Arran. The people are friendly, there’s good food, stunning seascapes and landscapes and there are many varied walking routes to suit all – seashores, glens, peaks and lochens. The Clisham Bed and Breakfast at Pirnmill is excellent with views across the Kilbrannan Sound to Kintyre – watch the seabirds and seals from the windows while enjoying a delicious Scottish breakfast.
