Woods on Boxing day
The weather has been windy and rainy over the christmas holiday so far, but an unexpected break on boxing day was a good opportunity for a walk.
There are so many paths and routes to take in the local area, it’s possible to stitch together a huge variety of walks.
Today I felt like both a stretch and quiet so I took the high path into the woods and created a 6.5 mile circular.
The paths were surprisingly easy underfoot given the volume of rain. It must drain away easily to the lower valley.
It was a little surprising not to see anyone at all. These woods are barely used in general, but I thought some might venture out to walk off the excess of the past few days.
While out today, it occurred to me that I haven’t really walked all that much this year, outside of the events for Dursley Welcomes Walkers. I’ll have to make a new year resolution to carve out time once a week for a hike.
