Back home from my birthday holibobs and back into the usual old grind.
On the 22nd the boys and I had our usual early morning walk around part of Cherry Orchard Country Park ending in a nice refreshing swim for the pooches. Not a lot to report on for this walk really, it was cooler than the previous week so that was a bonus. Thats about it really.

On the 23rd I took a nice long walk from Crays Hill, just outside Billericay, to Stock and back in a nice 8 mile loop. The weather was hot and the views were amazing but I won’t go into too much detail here as I have written about this hike elsewhere on my blog.
