Today it was wet, wet and horrible. There was Thunder, lightening and heavy rain. It was Yuck! Not as bad as it has been many times this winter, but Yuck!

So, being bored out of my mind, and trying to give me internet a break over the weekends, I decided to go for a walk. As part of my plan to get myself fit, loose the beginning of my beer gut and build up a little muscle in my lazy self I am going to walk, the occasional push-up and/or sit-up, and eat the less occasional healthy meal.

I dressed in some warm clothes, loaded a mix of ‘Tom Petty‘, ‘David Grey‘, ‘Rhombus‘ and ‘Phil Colins‘ on to my iPlod and I was away.

I hiked in to the local forest, this is a pine plantation that sections are felled, milled, and planted on a regular schedule, It starts just behind where I live. I walked for around 5 hours only hitting the tracks once or twice, it was a hard slog through dense bush and plenty of gorse and mud.

I eventually came out to the road on the other side of the bush, and it took about an hour to walk back home via the road.

It was a fun time, and as wet as I got, it stayed warm for both the exercise and that I wore warm clothing.

I took a few photos, but mostly it was too wet to safely bring out the camera. Plus most were crap as as much as I wish – I am not a great Photographer.
