Hiking- Milton Keynes

Today Tats and I did some more hiking- This time we did a flat 4 miles as the weather looked sketchy along the "Circular Millennium walk".
We started out at The Milton Keynes Discovery Centre, and followed the footpath an the back of the buildings (Behind the creepy looking monk tree carving which I was too traumatised by to remember to photograph) and followed the railway line to the right.
we crossed the railway line in what is clearly a very depressed area- I've never seen so many bars and spikes and coverings to keep people on the bridge and off the line.
:S
Tats was telling me that theres a stretch of footpath which goes over the railway line near ally pally which is actually called "Jumpers lane"- Cheery conversational topic for a saturday afternoon.

Once we'd crossed the railway line we turned immediately left and followed the footpath (We did take a slight detour to have a look at a church and to laugh at a pub named "The Prince Albert". How unfortunate.

The walk was really pretty even though it's still not quite spring-


We did see some signs that the season- and therefore the rubbish weather- might change soon.

The end of the walk was where all the good stuff was- Tats found us the only roman remains for an awfully long was to enjoy- well worth the walk!
I always think that it's amazing that anything as old (Or older than) the roman remains have survived this long- and look how good then are- you can see all the rooms and everything!



We also got to sit on the concrete cows- This was marred a bit by the rain.
So worth getting a wet bum in order to sit on the cows!


After dropping Tats home I headed into town to do a spot of primark shopping ready for our trip to America- So now I'm all packed and ready to go! I treated myself to a new handbag too! :D
