Little walk along the little river Eem to get to my therapy group on Thursday afternoon, in between winter storms Dudley and Eunice.
BTW and PS, any reason the 2021 hiking club was revived? No going back friend! @Dazercat

Altough the weather forecast was not that good we decide to go for our hiking trip.
Its was 24k and It took us more then 7 hours due to the difficult terrain and the flooded tracks.
But is was all worth it and I really enjoyed it. The track leaded us to three different dutch provinces,
Zuid Holland, Utrecht and Gelderland.

Don’t know if this is hiking or not. Or nature. But…. My trail in the neighborhood. Some street. Some trail. Some snow. Some golf. Not today though.

Blessed to have such a great place to walk or hike whenever I like.
Just the right amount of snow.

I am only really walking at the moment. Nice to see where other people go on their wanders!

Ya I like to see that too. Even if it is just an every day thing. When you sober and grateful there’s so much to see on a 3 mile walk or hike even if you do it every day.
I use to love a good “Foot Path.”

Ah yes of course the good old British footpath. Also called snickets and ginnels, the ones that cut through urban areas anyway. Through fields and woods etc are footpaths or bridleways

I lived in Yorkshire for several years when I was younger actually - Scarborough to be precise! But have taken in the whole region to be fair. Such a beautiful place… I live in Australia now though, and having moved around a bit have come to understand that this whole entire world is so special in whichever small section we find ourselves at any given time! One should really try to slow down, open their eyes and heart, and just absorb and appreciate the unique little gems to be found in our environments (& ourselves and others in them)… So much to be found in literally every corner of every field, forest, moor, desert, beach, coast, cliff, mountain, cave, river, lake, sea, village/town/city… And all the diversity that accompanies them like the wildlife, sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, snow, mist, views, warmth, cold, calm, perfection, chaos, colors, touch, smells, tastes, sounds, emotions, vibes etc… Neither this earth nor any life on it is for granted, we seem to forget that!
Great thread @siand, broadening our horizons and clearing our lungs, minds & souls with the great outdoors will always be irreplaceable… I’m glad our journeys crossed my friends, much love

Exactly, I think this all the time, how my local environment is totally different to a walk I’ll do 20 miles away, coastline and different flowers and wildlife . Then I’ll go 20 more miles and be able to walk up green fells with lakes and tarns all around. Its amazing when you think about it. And then every few months or so, it all changes again with the seasons, I love it.
It’s easy to get absorbed in everyday life, but so rewarding to take time for what’s around us.

What a beautiful day for a hike. We started in the forest, walked true the dune area to the beach. Great therapy, and lots of beautiful birds spotted. I hope it stays this weather for a couple of days!

you are afraid for cows?

Ok so hear me out… on the other side of the bridge you see a baby cow with what looks like 2 big cow guards. I don’t know how protective they are so I wasn’t gonna walk through a herd and possibly get trampled

There’s cows and cows 
. Then there’s bulls as well 
. IMO you’re quite right to practise some caution Jennifer. The Scottish Highlanders we have here grazing our nature reserves, are known for their very docile nature and behaviour. Still we are reminded to keep our distance, although not many people do.

Not crossing herds is always a wish decision when there are young animals around.
Al tough those animals are harmless and non aggressive, otherwise it is not allowed to let them walk around loose.
Most people don’t now how to approach them without scaring them. Cows have a very bad eye sight so If you have to pass them always move slow and do not make any unexpected movements.
so running up the stairs wasn’t a good idea in this situation
