Hiking in January – all you need is a parka and a dog!
At this time of year, I love to go hiking. You pretty much get the walking routes to yourself, and as long as you are wrapped up warm, and have a good pair of mud-proof boots, it’s a lot of fun! As a new year’s resolution, my wife and I are trying to go every Sunday to different walking spots close to where we live. We don’t get up too early, but when we’re good and ready I stick on a jumper and my parka, and take the dog for a walk across the hills. I don’t know why more people don’t do it at this time of year – it’s a great way to get in shape, and the gyms and packed with people trying to shift the holiday weight, but the hills are barely used!
