Welcome to Cuddly Koala's Blog

Hello all and welcome to my blog, I am Julie and been hiking since a teenager and on family walks before that. I was once very serious about my walking but life changes and I have been away from the hiking scene for 15 years. In 2011 I restarted the interest and will be sharing my adventures with my companion, Lady, she is a Flat Coated Retriever.

Lady and I will hopefully be hiking in the Peak District, Lakes and Snowdonia.

Broughton Astley - Dunton Bassett - Broughton Astley 5 miles

Today I went on another local walk, one Lady and I hadn't been on that turned out to be an enjoyable walk.  The walk took us across Thomas Estley Community College playing field, I couldn't believe the amount of litter, obviously the teachers take no notice of the kids.  Personally I think they should get the kids toclean it all up.

Once leaving the playing field we walked up cottage lane, crossed the disused railway and followed the road until the footpath branched off to the right  towards Dunton Basset.  This stretch was very enjoyable taking us through spinneys and fields.  The final stretch of the walk was taken along the road back to Broughton Astley.

Here are a few pictures...











One thing that happened was the phone battery dying on me, funny thing is I took a spare battery, just as well as the phone is also my GPS and I was exploring new footpaths to me.
