Day Trippers

We went to Skegness for the day aka Skeggie, SkegVagas

We walked 11.5 miles according to my Fitbit, which is very accurate because it checks out with Google Maps.

This is in the morning, walking towards Ingoldmells.

Me and my best mate, Elsie, I usually say "my only mate", "Philly-No-Mates".

(Actually, I do have mates, but Elsie is my best mate)

Anyway the sun shone , we had a lovely picnic, Elsie had a gallop on the beach and never flagged during the walk. About 30 minutes after the photo it was "hoodie off time" as the temp reached a massive 17C !

I did the Skegggie charity shops too...no cameras or lenses though !

Hello Phil!

[Suzanne]

Great shot! I laughed at your temperature increase to a 'massive' 17deg. That's still cold in my view!

[Lesley]

Skeggy! Haven’t been there for donkeys years. You picked the right day for it. Great shot.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wow, that's an impressive walk. I bet Elsie loved every minute. Nice photo of you and your buddy! That's a perfect temp for me.

[Casablanca]

You two look very full of beans! Sounds like a brill day

[Mags]

Aww! You two look great together. =)

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam thank you mags that's very kind to you

@tinley23 thanks Lesley , skeggy is skeggy !!!!

[Corinne C]

A wonderful photo of you and Elsie at the beach. I'm impressed with how much you walk. Walking on a beach is harder than on harder terrain.

[Elisa Smith]

Sounds like a great day, no have the chilli peppers stuck in my mind.

[LManning (Laura)]

A terrific portrait of you and your buddy. Both looking good!

[Kathy A]

Sounds like a great day spent together

[Issi Bannerman]

A most splendid photo of you and your best pal. Love the background too, and your narrative.

[Christina]

Nice shot and what a walk!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a lovely shot of you both in what seems to be a deserted beach ! fav

[Rob Z]

A terrific shot of you and Elsie - and what an amazing distance to walk..

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful selfie with Elsie. Must have been a beautiful walk for Elsie not like my daughter's Snuggles, he has been brought up to lazy for walking besides having very short legs.

[Carole Sandford]

It was a lovely day to go to the coast! Not too far away from me.

[Beverley]

Gorgeous photo… she’s a lovely walking companion. Beach looks lovely.

[Renee Salamon]

Fab photo of you and your girlie, Phil
