A few photos from a wondrous winter hike (5 –6 miles) through the ravines and Don Valley last weekend; cold but invigorating, with delightful ‘grazing’ to be had at the Brickworks (organic hot-dogs and hot cider, gourmet hot chocolate, fish tacos and the most amazing savoury spiced Indian cake made from fermented chickpeas) before the short walk up the hill to the car.
