This weekend I have just signed up for a 4 day walking trip in May to North Wales around Cader Idris, which I last walked as a 14-year-old on a school trip. I can still vividly remember being spellbound by the sheer beauty of the valleys. It was the first time I had seen  mountains having lived in a flat landscape. I always wanted to return, and now that dream will soon become reality. [...] [...] Last year I spent a fabulous weekend with them on a jaunt to the Forest of Dean.

Or should I? I shall try not to as I sip Sangria and relax while my husband is busy working. I am looking forward to exploring the area, I just wish I had time to use my walking boots.

Both my big toe nails dropped off after my weekend in the Forest of Dean with the Ramblers, they have only just grown back again, and I hope I can manage to hang on to them this time. The problem was caused by not tying my laces tight or high enough, so my toes pushed forward into the front of the boot. [...] [...] It’s been a while since I have walked this distance.

Otherwise I can't think of what it might be, and I've never heard that name. Possibly an escape from an aviary? Not uncommon.

Good luck with your new blog. Jim, No luck re the Pied Flycatcher. I did see a Goshawk though in the forest, which I believe is very rare, plus a tiny black and white bird in the hotel garden which the locals call a spaniel - does that sound familiar?

The weather was great, the company too, I even bumped into two fellow ramblers who I have not seen for many years who I knew through work, one being the former CEO of Cambridge City City and the other a prosecuting solicitor, so we had a good catch-up chat. I suprised myself by walking with the A group two days running, the first day included an ascent of 3,300 ft, through Symond's Yat, which is stunning. We caught a ferry across the Wye and it was operated by a rope pulley, it looked most precarious as it exceeded its quota of passengers and backpacks, but it gave us all a thrill. The woodland flowers were so lovely, and I even spotted some early snowbells in blood, with the promise of tens of thousands of more just waiting to burst open. Luckily, I suffered no blisters, but some sore toes because they were pushed forward by my boots. Thanks to Chris Brown for organising it, the whole weekend cost only £140 and was a bargain, including two dinners and breakfast, a lovely room, coach travel and guided walks. I couldn't have done that at home for the same price. Joe, Apologies for the delay in posting on my return, I promise you I was not slacking.

It's a little early, but they are among the first migrants to arrive here. I wonder if you saw one? Ah, Forest of Dean, one of the strongholds of the Pied Flycatcher in Britain.
