What a fantastic morning for Shenley Striders WALX!
Beautiful sunshine, great company and a good steady pace maintained throughout! Despite the temperatures rising, everyone kept going, with plenty of well-earned hydration stops along the way. 💧😎
A great start to Sunday.

Saturday Stroller Walk – Wheathampstead
A lovely sunny walk today, taking in ploughed fields, fresh green grass now appearing, autumn fruits and berries, and plenty of happy sheep!
A few hills got our hearts racing, before we passed the beautiful Grade II listed Old School, built in 1862 in the distinctive Decorated Gothic style.
We finished with a well-earned drink at the Brewhouse.
Another great Saturday Stroller walk!

Another lovely Striders Walx at Colney Heath today!
We came across a gate to absolutely nowhere… keeping nothing in and nothing out! 😂
Then we met this very cute goat who seemed rather pleased to have an audience and was definitely showing off for us!
One of the most interesting sights was the lake — such a contrast between one side, which looked almost desert-dry, and the other, where the water was beautifully clear.
Another great walk with great company!

Saturday Stroller WALX at Sherrardspark Wood!
We timed it perfectly — getting our walk in just before the rain arrived! 🌦️
Beautiful woodland avenues, winding paths, meadow views and a few hills gave us plenty of fresh air, scenery and cardio, plus some double-poling practice on the slopes.
Great company + rain-refreshed air + getting active = the perfect start to the Bank Holiday weekend!

Watchers of the Sky!
A small group of early-morning walkers gathered on Nomansland Common at 4.30am to witness the partial lunar eclipse.
Apart from a distant owl and the occasional rabbit for company, the common was beautifully still as we watched the Blood Moon emerge.
A Blood Moon lunar eclipse is often seen as a powerful time for reflection and releasing old energy. To mark this rare celestial moment, we paused for a simple cleansing ritual before beginning the walk back across the common — where a well-earned coffee awaited us at the car boot café. ☕🌙
A magical way to start the day.

The other side to our Workout Wednesday — after a technique-based session, it’s all about enjoying the lovely surroundings of Highfield Park. A great way to get some fresh air and appreciate the scenery.

This evening's Pick up the Pace walk at Batchwood.
Perfect weather for an early evening walk, enhanced with countryside views. Is autumn coming with hedgerow fruits in evidence?
