Met up with a couple of folks we know from our running days at a recent 70th birthday party. Had a good old natter and catch up. They do a fair bit of walking and told us about their next adventure. In March they will be setting out to walk from Lands End to John O'Groats. They've been planning it for about a year, with quieter tracks and trails being their preference. I think they mentioned 88 days or thereabouts. They've decided against rest days as they reason that they'd only be wandering around wherever they stopped, so will have short walking days of just a few miles. We're meeting up for. meal next month and I'm really looking forward to hearing about their chosen route.
It's something I've thought about doing myself from time to time, it's easy to romanticise such an adventure with fair winds, gently rolling hills and the warmth of the sun. The realities would be more daunting.
The realities certainly could be somewhat different.
My first challenge (for myself!) when I chucked in the day job was cycling it. My goodness, Cornwall can deliver some hills. And 50mph howling gales

The might be amused by this book - Free Country: A Penniless Adventure the Length of Britain - I found it very entertaining before my adventure began!
Does remind me....I must finish checking my book (well, mostly picture book!) - I ought to find a way to get it on Kindle for others to enjoy....
