Well, have now decided to call it a day ….. I slept really badly last night – the midge bites really got to me and I was conscious that I was scratching them in my sleep. In fact, I’ve woken up today to find blood everywhere and my feet are covered in bites – I’m really not sure I want to put my boots back on.
It’s also raining and as today was only ever going to be half a day – just a seven miler – from Langdon Beck down to Middleton, I’ve decided to pack up and go home. I’m sad about it, but it’ll be nice to have just half a day to break me back in when I take up next year where I’ve left off now.
It’s been the best fortnight ever – I’ve had such a brilliant time, met some lovely people, felt invincible, realised I can do this stuff on my own again and generally feel pretty fit and healthy. I’ve also discovered that the walking is easy but the logistics are a bit of a nightmare and I need to brush up on my admin skills! So, next time I’ll be more organised – hopefully – and do a bit more research before I head off to the hills and find myself stranded without transport! No need to worry though – it’ll never be so slick that I won’t find myself in a bit of a fix every now and then! That’s half the fun of it for me!
I’ll sign off now and leave this blog to others for their adventures. I hope we’re going to start our training walks again and we’ll keep everyone updated with our news – and hopefully those of you that don’t currently walk with us may want to join us.
So, for now, it’s over and out …..!
