Maddy goes hiking - out in the country

As promised, more photos!

I've taken an exercise sabbatical today - I've run, cycled or hiked every day this month and my body was telling me to rest this morning so instead I've sorted this out for your enjoyment.

Just to recap, I headed out into South Gloucestershire yesterday up to the curiously named Iron Acton before following the River Frome back to Brizzle. On the way I stopped off to see a Medieval barn, a couple of churches and to take some images of the fauna and flora, some of which actually sat still long enough for me to get in focus! See if you can spot the dragonfly and the other critters hiding in the view through the lens. About seven hours all told including lunch in a buttercup meadow and 25km / 15 miles covered by my abused ambulant units!

So there you have it, If you can identify anything, feel free to comment below.

The bits you didn't see coz they wouldn't stay still were the butterflies, Swifts, Skylarks and other dragonflies and even I didn't see the Frome Kingfishers!

More from me on Wednesday
