Just before you enjoy the posts below from Thursday and Friday's walk I wanted to explain something.
I have had a couple of people say their comments aren't appearing on the blog.
It is all working but comments are moderated before they are published. Once you post a comment it will not go live until it is checked - this is just to avoid spam - you can imagine what would happen if everybody on the internet could publish anything they liked on this blog!
Please do post a comment, I love getting them, I promise it will appear within 24 hours and they really do keep me going. Thanks.
Following the success of my previous walks I've decided to set the bar a little higher and will be walking 1,200 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats in aid of Liverpool Unites - a charity with a target to reach £500k for Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Keep up with the walk, all my news and learn some stuff through this blog.

Crossing boundaries...
13 miles today - Launceston to Germansweek in Devon. Finally crossed my first county boundary!
Quiz: Cornwall only has borders with Devon, Devon borders with three other counties. Can you name them?
Answer
The weather was red hot for the whole walk today, you know how I like to tan, and I could see for miles.
I have to report that my left calf is giving me a bit of gyp today - not too bad but I'm going to have to be careful with it though. I've done about 120 miles so far so a bit of an ache really can be expected.

Look far enough and you can almost see John O'Groats :-) |
Well rested and back to it...
I enjoyed the rest day, difficult not to really with delicious Cornish ice cream and, of course, a glass of scrumpy. The people at the camp site are great and very friendly.
After having walked 16 miles today (Thursday), Crowdy Reservoir to Launceston I'm only 4 miles short of Devon already - Yipe! The day started misty again but the sun put his hat on and came out to play 5 miles into the walk.
I was lucky enough to see a flock of buzzards soaring high today. I counted eight of them at one point.
All well and I'm having a blast!
Yum! Well not the whole bottle! |
