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

Posting Comments

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.

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.

Look far enough and you can almost see John O'Groats :-)
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.

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.
Yum!

Well not the whole bottle!
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!
