Slightly off piste

We decided to walk on the other side of the valley today. It was a glorious day again, although there was a really strong wind whistling around our ears as we left the house. We were soon among the vineyards though and becoming more sheltered from the wind. As we walked higher, and turned north slightly, the wind calmed and once again we were enjoying a really pleasant walk. We were not used to this area, and although we’d seen where we wanted the walk to go to from afar, and also seen some paths on the map, we were not sure how they would join up.

Anyway, we continued to explore to see if we could find a suitable route that we would want to share on our website. Before long it became apparent that this was not a walk we would be publishing .

That said, we’d had a great day hiking around our local area, traipsing up and down through forests, trudging along muddy paths and jumping, not so elegantly, across newly formed streams. All in all going a bit off-piste. Now I understand the lie of the land a bit more, I will replan the route and we will be revisiting this area.
