About Me

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

Elementary my dear Watson...

Hi all.  On Sunday I passed the 300 mile mark - wahay!  I've actually covered 304 miles which is my personal best for a single walk.  On the way I also beat my longest ridge walk at 10 miles - the views over the Brecons are just out of this world.

Ridge walk on the Brecons

From Pandy to Hay-On-Wye was 17.5 miles rather than my usual 16 of late, a change is as good as a rest and I've no time to rest.

Hound of the Baskervilles - (Grandchild friendly version)

Home for tonight is Baskerville Hall - yes the real venue for the Hound of the Baskervilles story (Click here to read a free copy). Apparently Sir ACD was a friend of the family and at their request set the story in Devon to prevent their being over run by tourists.

Will update tomorrow - if I make it through the night ;-)
