Weather improving thankfully so plan on doing more after work walks to pick up the mileage. I never realised how time consuming this walking malarky is.  Basic maths.....  12 miles = 3 to 4 hours !!  Doing 4 x 12 mile walks a week is going to be hard to find but I have a master plan...............RUN !!!

Blisters are starting become a problem, having to wear hiking socks causing too much heat maybe..

Thank the lord for COMPEED Plasters !!!!

Training...

18 miles. No pain no gain. But ouch. Got a lot of pain from legs.

Thank you all so much...the total is now up to nearly £850 (just over £1,000 with the gift aid tax added)

Llangollen Round

Well, a fantastic cause, The Llangollen Round walk for Cancer Research UK is running a 1 or 2 day walk of the 34 miles around the hills surrounding Llangollen.  What a great cause and for me a chance to get a good 2 day training session in the bag......   Booked plus a donation.

August 18th - 19th   34 miles...
