Day 11 — Stay Home, Stay Healthy!
Today was a Steller Day, thanks in part to this guy. Day 11 of staying home to reduce the spread of the coronavirus was one of both sunshine and pouring rain. It seemed to switch between the two about every five minutes.
We just enjoyed an extra long bank holiday weekend with an additional day off working from home and after 9 loooong weeks not leaving home we decided it was time for us to have a taste of the good ol' outside world again. Yesterday we picked on of our past favourite walks from Venford reservoir up to Bench Tor. We started very early to avoid as many other people as possible and had no problem with social distancing for the entire trip. On our way towards the Dart valley nature reserve I took a short detour to find the popular Venford falls. I managed to slip and submerge one boot fully into the brook but that was worth it once I made it down to the lovely spot of the twin falls.
This was from my last bike ride a week ago of this little cabin out back of us. Now our ground is covered with snow and ice and the bike is put away.
Through this lockdown phase, I have had to call off three trips to my Himalayas, another is in June.....never know when will I be in the mountains....carrying a dream for something sooner...
