Went over to Pitstone Hill near Ivinghoe for a walk I've not done in ages and never with Ida. you start off walking towards Ivinghoe Beacon then turn off before you get there, and up onto part of the Ashridge Estate boundary path. Then off that path into fields.You are following the ridge right round until you start to drop down towards some very nice looking houses. One house in particular is being refurbished and having another very large house built on its land. Must be worth an absolute fortune!
Bit of road walking here which Ida didn't seem to mind, she's very good and although she certainly opens up the throttles in fields and open spaces she doesn't stray too far with a quick check back to make sure you are still there. Off into fields again from the return leg of the walk. Parts have been cordoned off as they are being managed for conservation and wildlife purposes. Heard Skylarks here, a wonderful sound drifting across the fields. With Pitstone Hill now back in sight in front of us we eventually got back to the car. Wasn't a really long walk, hour and a bit I suppose though Ida doesn't hang about!
Home and cooked a very acceptable Cottage Pie for self and Oliver with a bean version for Tara. Topping was a mixture of potatoes and sweet potatoes. A good meal for a winters day.
