Pennine Way enthusiast since 1973. Social account. No politics. My second favourite National Trail is Hadrian's Wall. Also a Great Outdoors Challenge 10x+ "Leg End". Allotment holder.
I am really pleased with my first 10k walk 6 weeks after my back operation, carrying a front cross body rucksack chest bag. Beautiful day. Loving the autumnal colours & the sunshine. Illness resets your priorities. Good health is your greatest asset.

It's a bit wintry weatherwise today, so I decided to pick the last remaining peppers in the garden rather than lose them to the coming cold weather. Not too shabby a harvest? Added to my allotment grown butternut/pumpkin, with onions & and rice, they will be quite delicious.

Here's one local for you. I saw this on a recent visit to Colchester.

Our new neighbours have builders in drilling all the walls in their house to embed all their electric cables into them. This prompted a spontaneous 12 mile walk in the countryside to escape the noise. Here's a collage of what we saw on our walk today.

Here's 2 I spotted on my walks in North Yorkshire last week. Shaggy Inkcap & brown roll-rim mushrooms?

It's definitely my very last picture of this year's pumpkin & butternut squash harvest. This butternut weighed in at 3,612g. The pumpkin is a Muscade de Provence from Franchi. It's really great for eating. Nutty & spicy.

Back onto the allotment tomorrow to harvest the last of the summer crop. It's been a great week in Settle, though. Out walking every single day. Here's a photo from that week away to celebrate #FingerPostFriday

My video of a (small) salmon attempting to leap Stainforth Force. Watch to the end to see it!

Sadly, our last day at the cottage in Settle, so we walked up to our old favourite, the Hoffman Kiln. Well worth a visit, & free! Lunch in Stainforth, passing the old Youth Hostel on the way in, then back via the Force where we saw a salmon aleaping (see separate video).

Gentle walk around Langcliffe village today. Lots of quiet autumnal lanes. Saw a solo salmon leaping at the nearby weir.

Walked from Gargrave to Skipton along the delightful Leeds-Liverpool canal. Skipton has plenty of great walking shops, unlike my home area, where most have closed. Since I last walked this route, the towpath has been upgraded to cycle track status.

A Settle circular walk today with the main objective being a return visit to Scaleber Force. The water at Settle Hydro, with its Archimedes Screw, was far less forceful than just a few days ago. The Ribble, lined with Rowan trees in places, provided a great coffee stop.

Much better weather today. Out via Langcliffe weir & Stainforth Force on Ribble Way, then Feizor via Dales High Way & Stackhouse via Feizor Thwaite. No salmon spotted as the river was too fast for leaping? Beautiful autumnal colours abound.
