Holymoorside


The images that accompany this blogpost were gathered today when I undertook a six mile walk out of the village of Holymoorside west of Chesterfield. The starting point was just twenty five minutes from this keyboard and Clint did not complain about the run out.

For mid-September, the day was unseasonably mild and I was wishing that I had put a T-shirt and shorts on.  By the time  I  reached the top of  Nab Lane I was sweating like a pig  with five and a half miles still to go.

On Harewood Moor these three young sheep turned to look at me. They were but lambs in the springtime - frolicking and gambolling  as lambs are wont to do...

And oh, it was good to be out. Putting in the miles and rebuilding my strength. I did not encounter even one other walker and at the end my feet felt like lead weights  as I trudged back up the hill to Clint where flasks of cold water were waiting in his boot (American: trunk).

Flip Flops


 “ oh Darling John , you are in flip flops!” 
Chic Eleanor was disappointed as she’d planned our early morning walk to be across the fields by the side of the Gop.
I had remembered by posh Northface jacket but had let the side down with my flip flops 
“ Only you” Eleanor tutted 
We walked across the wet fields anyway and typically I fell out of the said flip flops so many times my feet were stained with sheep poo by the time we got back
I didn’t mind too much.
It was refreshing enough
