A golden full moon - the July ‘Hay Moon’ or ‘Buck Moon’ - rises low over silhouetted grasses, casting a warm glow into the dusky sky. Hints of soft cloud drift across a fading blue backdrop as the moon climbs.

Tonight brings the first full moon of summer: the Hay Moon 🌕🌾

Named by Anglo-Saxons for the hay harvest, it’s also called the ‘Buck Moon’, a Native American name marking the time young deer bucks grow new antlers.

Celts knew it as the Wyrt or Mead Moon, for herb gathering.

This beautiful map shows all current #SlowWays routes coloured by Local Authority.

Now let's connect all hamlets, villages, beaches, hilltops and parks.. and with wheeling, cycling and riding routes too?

We've got a plan. Take a look >> www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/slowways

I've been on an adventure! Walked from Beaulieu village along the riverside path to Buckler's Hard (the old shipyard where ships were made for the Navy centuries ago). A lovely day! 🐾😃 @newforestnpa.bsky.social #BucklersHard #Beaulieu #photography #photo #fujifilm #fuiji #xt3
