Memorial Walk - my January hike

The calendar for January was looking chocka so I panicked a bit and scheduled in my first hike of the year: an 8 mile ramble around Windsor Great Park and the surrounding area.

The organisation was even more vague - meet at the starting point, follow the route, take some photos, stop at one of the en-route country pubs when we felt we needed some lunch, get back to the car before it was too dark to read the map and accompanying instructions!

As it turned out, this walk was a bit of a tour of memorials. First we found this John F Kennedy monument...


Closely followed by the spot where the original Magna Carta was signed...

12 hikes...

Hiker Mom at living the hike life suggested a different kind of challenge for 2012: 12 hikes in 12 different states/countries. I thought I could give that a go, with 12 different counties. It shouldn't be too hard to plan one hike a month during 2012, should it?

Places I could hike:
New Forest (Hampshire)
