Salisbury & Avebury (30/10/10)

Tanya and I headed over to Salisbury for the day. IFSA Butler's planned a trip to Stonehenge for us, so we decided to go see Avebury Henge instead. It's larger and older than Stonehenge but far less famous. And, unlike Stonehenge, it has a pub in the middle of the circle.

First rainbow of the day photographed from the train.

It was a full one, too.

The Red Lion--the pub in the middle of Avebury Henge where we got dinner (a lovely veggie burger with chips (ie. fries)).

I live about 15 minutes from Regents Park.

This duck keep diving into the water for food. It was cute.

Einsford Circular (24/10/10)

I joined the UCLU Hiking and Walking Club, and the first hike I went on was around Einsford (about a 40 minute train ride outside central London). The hike ended up being about 15 miles.

Corn field!

It rained very briefly, and then there was a rainbow.
