Have you got a place that you really love to walk no matter how many times you have been?
Mine is the Mourne mountains in Northern Ireland, iv been going for 41 years and i love it. I cant get to them at the minute because of lockdown though but will as soon as i can.

Hi that's nice I love walking only go round my park 5 minutes from my house can't go anywhere else yet there's a big lake I love walking round and lots of wildlife and a animal kingdom life would be grim without it 😊
Sounds good, i have lakes close to my house too, but im bored with looking at them, if i do walk them its when its dark and i use a torch, it makes things look different.
Have a good day..
Oh a torch🤔I like the lake no matter what I like to watch the sky change and the effects on reflections and the swans I find it relaxing and the sun reflecting on it it's frozen now
You dont like torches? lol
It does look nice with thee sun reflecting on it.
If you enjoy it thats the main thing and its close to your home, even better..
😁LOL our park closes at 4 to see it with a torch I'd have to climb over a big gate and I think I'd feel a bit inconspicuous sneeking round park with a torch lol so maby that's why 😁what kind of torch do you use lol 😁😁😁
Be a rebel and do it lolIts just a pocket torch but is very powerful, its different seeing everything at night.
i like it

Oh right! lol
Lovely picture Jimtom.I live an hours drive from Dartmoor and because my daughter moved to Plymouth a few years ago we had been meeting there to go for walks. Sadly no longer possible so I walk locally. I live in a rural spot so plenty of nice walks but just a bit boring although I often bump (well not quite!) into other walkers.
Just met someone who had been stopped and fined by the police the other day - she'd gone shopping at the nearest town 10 miles away, then decided to go for a walk in the area. They still counted it as exercising away from home!
Hi your not allowed to sit on park benches but people are but understandably if need to like my mam needs to have rest she doesn't hardly go out now I'm hoping to get out today well I am I'll go in park and throw some nuts to squirells I guess it's illegal to stop and feed out my hand 🤔have a nice day I've been on too long my eyes are going funny 🤯
You have to be careful at the minute with where you walk.
Because of lockdown we are doing the same few walks and its a bit boring for us too... Have to wait until March for the lockdown to end too 
Thanks!I love forests too, especially the smell of the trees.
I've never been to a Forrest so I wouldn't know🤔😊
Go to one someday.
I'm off to park to feed squirells maby if can get to them see how many are in park have a nice day 😊
Enjoy!
Are you going out
Not now.
I need to burn cholestrol off so I can have flash fried chips for tea lol 😁
Go jogging then lol
Do you eat a lot of chips?
About 3 times week I'm just on bazzaks joke post were having a jolly he's wrote some funny jokes it's not silly like the last post I told you to look at lol it's more understandable 😁🤔
Do you not get sick of chips! lol
No there healthy the way I do them not greasy I have home made or sometimes crinkle frozen what you having not sure I'm not hungry

Bye

It's beautiful Jim. The place I used to love walking (when I used to go walking several years ago) was on Dartmoor, it's such a stunning landscape and very pretty too.
Have you got any photos, it would be nice to see the place?
Only on old photos (before the days of phones) which unfortunately are fading, although I don't know why as they have been put away for a long time so no light has gotten to them.
Some of my old photos are the same
Isn't it a shame, we have loads of the dogs we used to have swimming on Dartmoor and it's so upsetting because they are fading.
I wonder could you restore them or if you have the negatives could you get them printed again.
Yes I do have the negatives and that's a good idea, thanks for that Jim.
Any time ...
Hi you could take photo of the photos and save on disc and have reprinted just a thought xx
Hi did you see the programme on ITV last week 'Cornwall and Devon Walks with Julia Bradbury' She walked from Hay Tor to other Tors including Hound Tor....looked wonderful.
Hi waitingame. No I didn't see that but I will have a look on Catchup to see if it's there. I love Dartmoor, it's a special place I think. Thanks for telling me about it.
Absolutely beautiful, and peaceful, Jim! Wish I could do likewise! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
We have a local Nature reserve, but because of lock down, it is packed, so we stick to the streets, much safer. At least we have a field behind our house, we can watch people taking their dogs for walks.
Most places are packed, you are right to avoid them.
