Walking

[carlos21]

I have to dodge them every day whilst driving my kids to school. When you get up close to them you soon realise just how massive they are. They have huge wingspans

There are amazing colours on them mate.

Yeah when I saw one as a kid my dad stopped the car on the side of the road and made us get out to look at it. Seemed pretty small from memory, but the one near Pendle was massive.

They’re big round here - like vultures, must be all the roadkill. There’s always dead badgers and deer lying on the roadside. Must be like Maccy D’s for Red Kites.

What makes me laugh is that I set off for a day in the mountains with full waterproof kit, rucksack, food, water etc... and you quickly get overtaken by some 65 year old bounding past you like a deranged mountain goat wearing only a vest and shorts!

SORRY MATE

I love walking because of all of the birds of prey and fresh air.

Do you go walking often mate?

I'm in the market for some new walking shoes, currently have some Scarpa boots, earlier version of those https://www.scarpa.co.uk/mountain/sl-active/ which are great for long distance and rough terrain, but I'd quite like some good walking shoes for more well trodden paths.

Any suggestions welcome.

I`ve only ever used - Zamberlan`s, for the past 30 yrs mate.

They are beautiful boots, the leather is incredibly soft, high quality and doesn`t split as long as you look after them ( use Nikwax etc after drying out )

You can get them resoled once the soles go.

They ain`t cheap, but they really are worth paying for.

Same with my Scarpa boots. I Nikwax normally a few times a year. Not heard much of Zamberlan I'll check it out.

Last time I was walking Pendle Hill I saw a Red Kite. I was genuinely excited to see it. Hadn't seen one in about 20 years before that.

Won`t be long before they are pretty much everywhere suitable the way they are going.

Along with Peregrines a tremendous conservation success story.

Unfortunately Kestrels are going the other way and they don`t know why.
