Is it still a walk if you stopped to take 12 photos of the same thing and named a pony 'Graham'?

The gnarled branches of an ancient yew tree

Walking through Kingley Vale:

Start: “What a lovely stroll!”
15 mins later: encounters spooky tree with creepy vibes
End: "I'm never leaving the house again!"

Jokes! The Kingley ghosts are, in fact, very charming.

For National Walking Month I will be walking in Lincolnshire from Skellingthorpe to Doddington Hall. What will be your walk? #WalkThisMay @rmcnallynhs.bsky.social @laurajeffreys.bsky.social

Lush garden with a bird table in the centre and a wooden trellis covered in pink flowers, surrounded by dense green foliage and flowering bushes under a clear blue sky. Serene atmosphere.

For the first day of National Walking Month I took a walk around HRI on my morning break and found some shade in this lovely garden 😊

So, what are you waiting for? Put on those boots, dust off the trampers and, in the words of the legendary Aerosmith, get ready to #WalkThisMay
