One of my first serious walking places…2 complete laps from the car park is 2 miles. I remember calculating the distance on a map before I had a smart phone! 😂

For a short walk before going food shopping, one lap of the big lake takes about 15 minutes…it’s about 3/4 of a mile.

I went twice this week…both days it was quite overcast and gloomy ☹️ There were the usual terns, ducks, Canadian geese, coots and moorhens Recently there have been cormorants and a couple of greylag geese!

perfect distance for a quick walk. Geese are the cherry on top. I love geese! We used to have chickens but I always wanted a goose or two. But we never got around to getting one.

This bunch can be really noisy at times!

lots of people feed the ducks! They come with bread or bags of proper bird food. There’s a play park at one end, so it gets very popular when the weather is good!
