High Dam
I have had a week of illness and am still nowhere near fighting fit but being virtually housebound for a week has sent me stir crazy, so a slow and easy walk was required today to get me out in the fresh air. High Dam fit the bill perfectly and this walk can be made as long or as short as required – today it was short but it was still good to be out and about.
