About Me

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

The yellow, yellow sand of home!

Woo Hoo!  I've completed the second section of my walk now, arriving in Blundellsands having walked 16 miles from Eastham (I did get a ferry across the Mersey).

"Another Place" statue at Blundellsands - quite fitting really (click on pic for more info).

It was road walking all the way so instead of kestrels and eagles it was all cars and lorries along the A41 and Derby Road.  Mind you, seeing the Liver Birds made up for the lack of exotic wildlife!

Thanks to the photographer for this one of me passing the Liver Building

Katie from Liverpool Unites met me off the ferry with a photographer so it looks like I may get a bit of press coverage again soon.

The next section of the walk starts on 19 May which will give me some time to sort out my kit and also to catch up with family and friends.

I intend to publish some more photos in a Web album soon so do come back regularly to check for updates.

As usual it is always lovely to hear from people so please do feel free to post your comments.

Hwyl, diolch yn fawr Cymru!

Farewell and thank you Wales!

Walked 21.5 miles from Llandegla to Eastham on the Wirral today in just over 6 hours, quite an easy walk because it was so flat - the miles just flew by.

Passed through an interesting place called Hawarden on the way, a place where Gladstone (the PM) had a large house.  I also managed to see the large castle there.

One more day will see me reach my home soil and finish this section of the walk!
