In the current lock-down conditions,we are encouraged to do some exercise not too far from home. Of course, we are encouraged to follow "social distancing" and keep our distance from others.
So, we chose a 2.5 mile walk around the village keeping our distance from others and washing our hands on entry into the house. We avoided touching things. Strange times.
The photo shows some of the things on the walk.

Lovely walk - NOT amateur radio
In the warm March sunshine we did a lovely walk in the village today.
In all, we have walked about 3.75 miles today, with everyone keeping at least 2m apart!

Christmas day walk - NOT amateur radio
Christmas day was bright and sunny so we went for a walk in the village. This cat seems to have taken a liking to me! In all, we walked 1.68 miles according to my phone.

Christmas Day walk - NOT amateur radio
Although we have had a busy few days, much of today and the next few days are quiet. Then, from Monday, the grandchildren descend and it is busy again! This morning as it was a cold, crisp morning we did a brief village walk. About now, the first snowdrops start to appear. We saw a few about to come out (see photo) but none actually out.

Walk around the village - NOT amateur radio
Most days we try to do a short walk.
According to my phone, we have walked 2.68 miles today. On the walk we bumped in to several friends and the rain held of.
We are home again.

No coastal walk tonight! - NOT amateur radio
As it is still raining heavily, I think we'll give our after-dinner coastal walk a miss this evening. I suspect watching TV is more probable.
UPDATE 2020z: The rain stopped so I managed to walk out to the cliffs and back. With breakers crashing on the beach, it was a very different kind of evening.

Evening walk - NOT amateur radio
As it was a lovely evening, we decided to go for a walk in our local meadow this evening. At the moment the cow parsley is splendid. Altogether, a perfect late spring evening.

Clifftop /P
Well, yet again I had intentions of walking out to the clifftops for some evening /P operating, probably on 15m. Instead the 2km walk was just that - a pleasant stroll in the late evening sunshine and a chance to take a few more photos. They have removed the 2 seats on the coastal path as well! The weather is becoming less settled, but I may try Wednesday evening as we are at my brother's for a meal tomorrow evening. I think with my voice being such hard work I am less keen than I was on /P operating.
In all we have walked much further this holiday than I was expecting, which is a good sign: I still have a poor voice, I still tire easily, I still feel giddy but I can do more than I expected. I guess I have to learn to adapt to the "me" I am now and not the "me" I used to be.
Before coming away I feared I would never be able to walk the south west coast path from Hope Cove to Salcombe ever again. Although I would be done in at the end, I think I could manage this - just. Maybe on a future visit....

A walk in the sunshine with the Ventus GPS tracker
As the weather was so beautiful this afternoon (full sun and around 13 deg C) I decided to do a country walk and track my progress using the Ventus GPS data logger bought from Martin Lynch and Sons. The walk was 10.7km and took about 2hrs 34 minutes with a couple of relaxing breaks for a drink and a snack. No ham radio gear was taken this time, because I forgot to charge up my VX2 handheld. Next time, HI. Incidentally Quy was where my optical beacon reached (over the horizon) a few weeks ago. When you walk that far it seems a VERY long way away!
This is a plot of the walk taken with the low cost GPS tracker then plotted with Google Earth.
