About Me

My photo
I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Sunday, 10 April 2011

Ahead of my game.

As my calf seems to have sorted itself out I had a great day's walk today - 18 miles from Germansweek to Bondleigh.  I had planned only to go as far as Hatherleigh but I decided to crack on whilst things are going well.
Wow!
The walk today took me up and down 10 hills. I am not complaining, in fact I feel very privileged to be here doing this, especially when rewarded with some outstanding views again. 
Well worth the walk up.

I'm turning into a bit of a Bill Oddie lately as I seem to be developing an interest in birds on this part of the journey. Saw more Buzzards again today as well as Sparrowhawks and Kestrels - fantastic!

I'm going to take Sunday off as a reward for progress made, but perhaps, more importantly I need to move camp to the next site now.

I'll blog again soon.  Take care all.

April showers here today, and much cooler. Your photos are fantastic, making us very jealous. Now you're a fully signed up twitcher you 'll be able to compare notes with Phil! We got brownie points last week for a waxwing in the big poplar (you know the one!) at the end of our garden. Good eh! Keep on trucking. Love Alan and Lesley xxx
