Ray's Walk
Ray’s Walk from Westernhanger to Hythe
Anyone who read last month’s blog may have noticed I was stepping down as a walk leader. I will continue to write about walks and go on led walks, as well as walking on my loved and favourite walks.

Madeira Walks
Madeira has many footpaths and hiking trails for all types and fitness levels.
A lot of these footpaths are by the levadas of Madeira, the man-made water channels that take water from the wetter northern part of the island to the drier southern part. There are around 2,000 kilometres of these levadas on the island.

Huntsman’s Leap, Pembrokeshire
An absolutely amazing coastal feature with its huge cliffs but only being a few meters wide. The view and exposure of the edge was very daunting and we were glad it wasn’t a windy day when we visited this area.

I saw a reel yesterday that was like "top 10 hikes in Canada" and they were, as predicted, 100% mountain hikes in Banff and Jasper National Parks (and not even hidden gems! The ones on tourist brochures!). Someone made a comment like "you need to see more of Canada" and the 🌟influencer🌟 replied that the rest of Canada wasn't worth visiting when there are views like that in Banff.
Anyway here's a phone photo from a hike I drove four hours round trip to do in a part of Canada that "isn't worth visiting" 😂

Malagan Sculpture and Obelisk, Lower Largo.
The garden that Malagan sits inand the house opposite belong to artist Alan Faulds. Malagan is name, although a signs says private, a local told me that the artist doesn't really mind people going in and admiring his work.
The name comes from Papua New Guinea however Alan got his inspiration on a trip to Lithuania from tall wooden roadside structures known as Roof Roles. The sculpture is carved from five sections of Scottish oak, some recycled oak floorboards and copper from a hot water cylinder. The finish is oil paint thinned with orange and linseed oils, it took him about a year to create.
The "Obelisk" sits on top of a former phone box and is in a similar style. The piece is made from accoya a sustainably sourced softwood native to New Zealand. From there it is often transported to the Netherlands where it is impregnated with acetic acid.
Mr Faulds has his own web page where ypu can find out more. I will post more pics, of his house and the gates later. https://www.alanfaulds.co.uk/
