I recently obtained the North Telford Coronation walks booklet and I am hoping to tick off all the walks before the end of 2025.

I started with one of my local walks where I could walk from home. I started the walk from the pedestrian crossing rather than Leegomery Community Centre. Along the way I detoured taking in Apley pool and Leegomery pools extending my walk to around 4 miles.

I wasn’t able to fit in one of the scheduled T50 trail walks that all converged in Telford Town Centre. Instead I had a solo (5 Mile)  afternoon walk along parts of the T50 trail to get to my favourite local nature reserve. I was rewarded with lush green lined pathways and fluffy delights.

I lingered a little too long enjoying the fluffy delights leaving me to walk at a pace to get home in time for our planned family visit at around 4pm.

Today was a scorcher with the temperature reaching 84F as I arrived home after an afternoon four miler.

I walked to Leegomery Pool where I sat and lingered for a while watching the fish just under the surface of the pool. Occasionally as the fish swam a fin emerged above the water level reminding me of Nessie (in Lock Ness). I continued my walk via a long loop to Apley woods where I chose to walk in the woodland rather than the metaled pathways. I sat a while watching the ducks on the duck pool before making my way home along the local bridle pathway.

Much later after I had cooled down I enjoyed ‘Fine Dining’ on the patio with Mr C.

I have successfully planned a quiet route to get to, through and around my local woodland area. I have even worked out how to navigate the blind corner I mentioned in my previous post

All walkers I met on my walk today were mindful of social distancing. They, like me were seeking out quiet walkways.

Along the way I found bluebells, what more could a girl ask for
