Extracts From The Day.

I just can't tell you what its like where I am now. I'm on a piece of land in a fork between two streams the sun is shining and all I can here is water. I wish I could bring all my friends here one at a time because I know they would remember it for always and when they remember it would be sure to fill their hearts with joy.




I just reached the first big peak in the walk, everything is good. Got a little hot but I tend to be a hot person so it doesn't take much. Now I have the downhill before the last big up. Just having a break now though, the only sound is the grass whishpering in the warm breeze. I love these places.



Stretching out before me is the last big hill, one mile of steep climb. I could of course say begger it and take the short cut along a level tarmac road but where would the challenge be in that?

There are no real problems other than my legs ache a little as does my back and eyes. I forgot my sunglasses but its ok no big deal. I'm cool now under these pine trees so that's good.

Can't send this right now as I don't have a signal, will try later when a little way up the hill.


Well that wasn't to bad. Its amazing when you get to Alport Castles, there is this brill view down the valley to the Snake Pass road. I have a very tame sheep for company at the moment, no funny business though I promise.

There now follows a steady walk along the ridge overlooking Snake Pass before dropping down to the car. I then need to find some dinner and go visit my sister at Bakewell. I don't know how many of these posts have been published but I will take a look tomorrow and also add some pictures I've taken. Take care everyone.

Hello everyone, how are you today? I’m good and just been busy getting my stuff together ready for another walk tomorrow. The route card for which is below. This walk will be a few miles shorter than the last one but if you were to compare profiles you will see that where as the last one was mostly down hill this one has more up hill, I’ve even planned a sting in the tail as well so that should be fun. I see it says I will be walking fourteen miles but it could be up to a mile more than that after all the dodging about. Anyway it doesn’t really matter about that as the main thing is to keep on pushing the toughness of the walks, I need to do more hills.

Jim asked me the other day how often I walk, well I walk just over two miles most nights with Tom and I’m trying to do a day’s walk every other weekend because if you leave it to long between walks you don’t develop the distance. By the end of May I want to be doing twenty miles with hills.
I will think of you all and take some pictures for you although it won’t be as interesting for you as the last walk in that respect but this walk is not a sight seeing trip.
