Walking challenge - over 6 miles today

As I'd been busy painting since Tuesday, I decided I needed a longer walk today to make up for the lack of exercise, so I got OH to drop me off at Whitemill (3/4 of the way into Carmarthen) and I would walk home along the lanes. Gosh but I'd underestimated quite how cold it was going to be in the valley bottom, before the sun showed its face over the hills. I walked about 6 1/2 miles home, stopping to take photos on the way. It took me a shade over 2 hours, so not bad going. My legs have told me that they would like a rest tomorrow, please . . .

The start of the walk - lovely sunshine, but I was in the valley bottom for the first hour - think FROSTY!

A different view of Merlin's Hill to the one I'm used to.

A different wooded cwm to the ones I'm used to as well.


A lovely farmhouse basking in the sunshine.

Past the church wall and round the corner.

A pretty little church, surrounded by 4 or 5 yew trees.

The old track up to Godor.

A trackway up past Tanerdy which I will try another time - it had turned into a stream this morning, with all the rain we've had recently.

Back into our parish now and past an old farmstead.

A wonderful outcrop of rock.

The little river which once formed the boundary of the lands held by Talley Abbey.

Trinity Church.
