Butterfly Walk - looking for Marsh Fritillaries

dannewton just finished a 3.64km walk, that lasted for 159 minutes.
This walk helped dannewton burn 569.0 calories.

Description from Strava: Another Bank Holiday Weekend means another day out in the middle of nowhere searching for Butterflies and any other interesting wildlife I could find.

After last weeks expedition to North Yorkshire, todays trip was significantly closer and easier. We visited Chambers Farm Wood, which is a local Nature Reserve to us, and is a fantastic example of Ancient Woodland. It was a pleasant enough wander, we saw all sorts of stuff including the Marsh Fritillaries that we were hoping for.

I'll write a better post on that in a few days, once I've sifted through all the photos...

And for those of you interested in an update on my calf injury... er its not going well.

I had spent the past 3 weeks slowly building up the strength and mobility to start running again, and then last Monday I managed to hurt it again, while doing some single-leg calf raises.

It is not quite back to square one, but it's not far off!

The only plus this time is that I know what the problem is, and have already started to introduce gentle stretching and massaging to it. I'm resigned to at least another 4 weeks of no running, and with the Scotland Holiday coming up in 2 weeks I'm making sure that I'm ok for that as a priority.

So that means building up the walking and remembering to stretch afterwards. And then after the holiday I will gradually start the strength exercises again...

About the Athlete: Living in the UK, I am an intermittent Runner, but always striving for more consistency. When I'm not training I can be found photographing insects or listening to really loud angry music (which is the best type of music obviously!)
