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.

You're never too old...

... or too young to learn!  I've now updated this blog so it links to other websites that will give more information about the places I travel through and the things I see.  Do pop back each day and who knows what we'll discover?  Just click on the highlighted words in the blog to go to another website for more info.

Flying High

Today I walked 20 miles.  Crowdy Reservoir to Ruthern Bridge.  I wanted to ensure this part of the long walk was covered as we had omitted it during the planning stage.  Although the weather was grey, wet and windy (like the rest of the UK I'm told) I felt lifted by the majestic sight of a falcon on part of the walk called Camel Trail

Majestic!


I've not long arrived at the actual start of the walk, Land's End.

Now it's chow and rest time before the big setting off tomorrow.

April Fools?

Spoke to a couple of people via the mobile this morning as we were driving down a single lane country track to the start of the walk.  Stayed in a lovely hotel last night and quite well rested but obviously I'm nervous!  I'll try and update later, right now, I'm just about to take that proverbial small step on a long journey.

By the way, contrary to some rumours, this isn't an April Fools Day prank.  I'm actually doing this!
