Just a quick post featuring a walk today from home. We set out about 8 am hoping to miss the heat, it was already getting warm early on. Luckily for Hugo this is another route taking in the river Ribble ,so he had plenty of opportunities for paddles and swims.
Today’s walk is a circular route from Clitheroe to Mitton and back. It’s one we have walked a few times over the years.
















Have you got out and about this weekend?
Wow, that’s a big family of ducklings! It has been a glorious weekend here too.
I know, Mum has her work cut out there. So cute. Hope you had a good weekend. X
That shut pub looked so inviting!
The beer will taste good eventually!
I live close to a brewery and I could smell the hops this wknd gone, so beer is in production!
Must be nice down by the river on a day like that. And good to see the wildlife. The water level looks low – not surprising given the lack of rain lately.
We are due a little rain. Might be the last warm day for a while tomorrow. Not sure what I think of that!
Likewise.
Lovely scenery & seems like the sunshine is making your walks pleasant. Take care, stay safe & huggles.
Another nice walk, I like the view through the picture frame and the family of ducklings. I went to Caton on Saturday, did the same walk as you but with a bit extra. What a lovely place and such great photo opportunities – I don’t know why I’ve never been before!
Reading one of your replies above I’m glad I don’t live where you do as I can’t stand the smell of hops. I never liked going to Blackburn when I was a kid as you could smell the hops as you were coming into the station, and to make matters worse one of our relatives lived opposite the Thwaites brewery 😦 😦
Looking forward to seeing your pictures from Caton, I had never been before either. It’s a very scenic place. I don’t mind the smell of hops, though can be overpowering at times. Weren’t brewing today. X
Such a lovely walk to enjoy close to home. Great photos especially of the duck family and the sandpiper:)
Looks gorgeous, what a lovely walk!
Lovely and local. 🙂
You really should put together a local walking guide! 😁
Well that’s what this blog is at the moment. 🙂 X
Love that carved wooden seat! And a very well behaved Hugo, not chasing the ducks 🙂 🙂
Beautiful pics as always. Love the bear chair.
It was a surprise to find the bear chair. 🙂
The recent closure of the pubs and cafes always seems to leave a bit of a gap at the end of some of my walks. Looking forward to having them back
Me too!
‘Beer is in production’ – a hopeful sign? Looks like another lovely walk. We did get out – a very early wild swim to beat the crowds. It was well worth getting up early for.
I saw a mum and son swimming in the river early on. The boy had to be given alot of encouragement, it was cold in. I need to pluck up the courage for a wild swim. 🙂
We’ve managed to squeeze in a few in the last few days. It’s one thing the family all enjoy.
In the sea?
No, the Kent, the Lune and High Dam at odd times of the day – apart from The Lune where we found a beautiful and completely deserted spot.
Early in the morning is a good time to go out for a walk, not only is cooler with these warm temperatures but also quieter I would think. It is lovely to be able to go for so many good walks close to home isn’t it?
Definitely. Planning a localish walk tomorrow, just a short drive away. X
I love these walks. I’ve been going for the odd walk, but not as often as I should be!
I have a lot of time at the moment. 🙂
Great pic of sandpiper. I lose my way trying to identify these – and all those others that look like them! But I think I might be getting better?! 🤔
You have a greater variety of water birds where you live. X
Looks a lovely walk x
