I spent a very enjoyable 3.5 hours with a friend doing a walk on some of the army land nearby. It was such a varied terrain, at points we could have been in Scandinavia with all the pines. We did very well in that we kept walking only to stop and decide which paths to take or to enjoy the many views we had, or to stop and take some photos; the general consensus of choosing the route was if we saw a hill then we'd climb it! Reason being for the exercise and to suss out where we were - even with the OS Green footpath map it was hard to work out exactly where we were. There is one spot that all walkers and cyclists converge on, from here we followed a track to see where I might be able to cycle in the future with the family. One thing I think I'm going to have to do is buy a second hand 3 wheel buggy so that I can train with my daughter, I don't think the Maclaren buggy will be up to the job over a lot of the terrain. I haven't had the time yet to work out how far we walked and therefore what speed we did but I plan to do so next chance I get.
