We've been in Tasmania! Lucky us....Walls of Jerusalem, Maria Island, Freycinet, Hobart. Joy!

Brisbane on foot...

Oh I have been so slack with my posting for a few months...just uninspired I guess. Must get back on track again. Over the past few weeks, hubbie and I have been exploring our various inner city neighbourhoods on foot, at dusk, a different route each time. We head out at dusk because it is too darn hot any other time - except at dawn and I am afraid we are not morning people.

Initially I set out free as a bird, not carrying a thing on me - but lately, inspired by the very "Queensland"  streetscapes and beautiful light at this time of day, I have started carrying my phone to take pictures. I have edited them rather coarsely with a phone app.

Fairfield

Fairfield is a rounded grassy peak above Ambleside and Grasmere - we did a long circuit from Ambleside and followed a ridiculously long stone wall along an exposed ridge all the way back. Loved it of course.

Langdale Pikes

We loved this popular walk up to the Langdale Pikes. It was very weird for us to be walking in a National Park with dogs and sheep everywhere, but I guess every man and his dog has been roaming these hills for many hundreds of years...and the dogs are such a delight to watch - they have so much joy plastered over their little faces.

Lake District: Easedale Tarn and Blea Rigg

The next leg of our UK holiday was the Lake District. Once we got our heads around the overwhelming number of walk options, we decided to keep it local (we were staying in Ambleside) and do a little walk to Easedale Tarn from Grasmere. This, however, was soon extended to a circuit over Blea Rigg, as we couldn't resist the urge to climb up the hills surrounding Easedale Tarn. The views over Great Langdale were gorgeous.

Ben Tianavaig

On our last day in Skye we climbed up the mountain we had gazed at all week from our little cottage. It was a stunning walk and the whole way up we had magic views and lots of interesting play of light with the gathering clouds. Literally the second we reached the summit it closed in with clouds so we didn't actually get to see the view on the other side of the peak.
