Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-grand-canyon-of-yellowstone.html
Sunday, 4 August 2013. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Bo drove us all to Canyon Visitor Center. We took the same drive in every day, alongside a lovely river. Today, we made a short stop to photograph some elk. Shortly after Clear Lake, we came across a series of mud pots in the heat of the sun, before re-entering woods and heading North towards the canyon. We headed further East when we reached the edge towards a viewpoint where we stopped for our lunch. We both took a large number of T-shirts on this...

Saturday, 18 August 2012. Oxford to Culham on the Thames Path, with a good deed. As we got to The Thames, it became clear that an event was about to start - this initially seemed to be a 'bicycling with a megaphone' gathering, but turned out to be Oxford Royal Regatta. Even at this early time, the towpath was busy with runners and walkers as well as people wearing blazers connected to the regatta. We had a detour near Sandford Lock in order to avoid a bull that was taking a very. The path turned West tow...

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: To The Grand Teton National Park, with more music and bundles of corn
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2013/08/to-grand-teton-national-park-with-more.html
Tuesday, 6 August 2013. To The Grand Teton National Park, with more music and bundles of corn. We left the West Yellowstone with some regret, and the Holiday Inn with rather less, bought lunch at the usual supermarket, and headed South towards Grand Teton National Park in Bo's coach. Apparently it was once common practice for fish caught in the lake to be dangled in one of the hot springs to be cooked, whilst still on the hook. Not a great plan, given the amount of sulphur around. We were staying at the ...

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: February 2013
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 February 2013. Still cold - snowdrops at Radnage. I think we've had enough winter now. We had light snow on an overcast Saturday, brightened up only by England's win over France at rugby, so postponed our planned walk to Sunday in the hope of better weather. There was less snow on Sunday, but it was still cold, so we donned many layers (that well-known Greek king *. This was the first outing for my new 'Fig Leaves' thermal long johns. Menelaus - joke courtesy of Eddie Izzard. Apart from a walk...

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: October 2012
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 October 2012. A short walk from West Wycombe. We had an weekend visit from Stuart, our younger son. This was a nice surprise, but not good for our waistlines. Firstly, we only took a short walk on Saturday - while Stuart slept after an all-night gig. Secondly, we had a traditional Sunday roast rather than the less calorific meal we'd planned. In a larger map. Location: West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire HP14, UK. Saturday, 20 October 2012. Ivinghoe Beacon and Ashridge Estate. Most of the rest of ...

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: July 2013
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 July 2013. Glacier National Park: Swiftcurrent Lake, with a moose and her calf. I was still incapacitated the next day. After some debate, I decided not to make the 176 mile round trip to the doctors, but to skip the programmed walk to see if it improved. Rosie decided to stay with me, at least in part to have a rest after two tough days. Almost as soon as we left the hotel, we came across a group of Big Horn Sheep seemingly putting on a show for the hikers. Labels: Glacier National Park.

Tuesday, 31 July 2012. We'd arranged for Stuart and Martin to visit Alton Towers on Saturday as the first part of Stuart's birthday celebrations, and we were joining them in Nottingham for the second part on Sunday. As we were travelling up on Saturday, we found a walk in Leicestershire in a old walk book. The walk started and finished at Foxton Lock. A lovely walk, and well worth the detour. In a larger map. Sunday, 22 July 2012. Summer at last - Goring to Dorchester on The Thames Path. Having done the ...

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: April 2013
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 April 2013. Tiddington, Shabbington and the River Thame. Most of the route was on one of the three local 'Promoted Routes': the Oxfordshire Way, The Thame (not Thames! Valley Walk and the Bernwood Forest Trail, with a section at the start across a golf course. Although it stayed dry, the sun didn't come out. That was a shame because the blackthorn was in flower and would have looked lovely with some light on it! As Shabbington (great name! View Tiddington, Shabbington and the River Thame.

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: June 2012
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 June 2012. Holmer Green and Shardeloes. It seemed that Saturday morning would have the best weather of the weekend so, after a brief visit to the Ted Baker section in the House of Fraser, we set off for Little Missenden to start our walk. As we'd parked outside The Crown, it as rather too convenient to pop in for a pint and a sandwich. View Holmer Green and Shardeloes. In a larger map. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rosie & Alan: muddy walkers: Last day in Glacier National Park: Grinnel Glacier
http://muddywalkers.blogspot.com/2013/08/last-day-in-glacier-national-park.html
Thursday, 1 August 2013. Last day in Glacier National Park: Grinnel Glacier. This was our last day in the stunning Glacier National Park. I decided that I could manage the longer 11 mile route, which would head along the North West bank of Lake Josephine and up to the two Grinnel Lakes. We'd walked parallel to the South East bank a few days earlier. At around a dozen, our group was quite large for a narrow track, but we were pretty good at letting faster hikers past. However, there was a very much la...
