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.

Hay Up!

13.5 miler from Hay to Kington today up and down some serious hills.

The ascent was 3,000 feet with an amazing 3 miles across Hergest Ridge with views to die for.
You can see why its called a ridge!

At some points today it was only sheer willpower and a sense of being thankful for the opportunity to do this that kept me going - my calves were killing me!  I know it does sound a bit naff but I truly am grateful that I have the opportunity to do this walk.


A special thanks to Cilla from Baskerville Hall who gave me a lift from the accomodation to the start point of the walk today and then was kind enough to sponsor me too!  How good is that?

More on Wednesday...
