Apparently today's section is the most strenuous of the whole walk so sensibly I end doing two days! 21 miles and do I know it, first blister, sore knees and yes mark from the lion my chuffin feet kill.
After last night when Paul aka lightweight crashed during tea we both had an early night [very seperately I might add] with the consequence we up before 7am and I was walking by 8am.
A cool and blustery morning over quite stunning countryside saw me reach the lunch stop by 11am. Not to be deterred I had breakfast bap and a lunchtime glass... Sorry its imperative to maintain a constant diet.
The next miles were killers up and down but I continued to make excellent progress. At 11 miles I had the choice of 2 miles off route as planned or anither 10 to the next nights stop. Chose the latter and do I know about it now. Although relatively flat the wind knocked hell out of me making me stagger like old lightweight last night.
Eventually I reached Kildale only to find the shop shut. At least Lou and Andy were meeting me so I could ask them to get some milk which they did and have just driven off taking it with them... Doh.
Anyway we had a great meal, proper roast dinner and a couple of beers. Lou is doing ok although she has had a tough day although Andy did have the joys of his family last night. A picture from today of me and Lou attatched.
Tomorrow is shorter but today has given me some slack later in the week.. I may well need it.
