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

St Day on Mother's Day

18 miles uphill today as I made my way to St Day.  My legs are holding up but I'm in need of a rest.  The reward for getting to the "tops" was spectacular views over St. Ives Bay.

St Ives Bay - wish you were here?

I also want to say "Happy Mother's Day" to my Mum.  She has something of the travel bug herself and is setting off to Egypt on Thursday.  It would be impolite of me to mention her age but as you know I am 60 I'll leave it to you to do the math !

Sleeping under canvas tonight, it's quite some time since I've done that!  I've practised putting the tent up in the back garden at home so it should be fine.  Curry for dinner tonight - yum!

Inside our tent - (at least in our dreams!)
Thanks for all your recent comments, I love reading them and they do keep me going.  Hope you are all enjoying the blog as much as I am enjoying the walk.  More updates soon...
