Jone's Falls Today is our last day of walking for the week. Perfect weather for walking today. Sunny and bright.

The GlenThe rain has stopped (thankfully) and I eventually managed to dry out my shoes.

The ground feels like a squishy… Continue reading Day 2 – Sydenham Trail (Sunday, 1 September 2019)
