Cold and bright day

In a nutshell, this weekend was brilliant. around 24 miles along the top of the loneliest hills in the least-populated part of England. Route-finding is surprisingly easy and the path often follows the fence that marks the border between England and Scotland. There are bogs, of course, and up here they’re of the ‘where’s my walking pole gone?’ variety. It can be exposed, too, and this is also a military training area (blank firing only), so making sure I don’t touch anything strange, metal or bomb shaped is the order lol. I survived though and now its just one week left with only 24 miles to go.

Walk 7.83 miles – A lovely walk with Linda over the tops from home, down through Trawden, Winewall and back to Colne before heading home. Some lovely views with the snowy ground and blue skies. Found that a pleasure rather than the chore some of the recent walks and runs have been. Great weekend with this walk and cracking snowy run yesterday 🙂 Now less than 24 miles to go and a full week to do it in.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider sponsoring me for this mammoth challenge, it’s for an incredible cause and inspired by an incredible person in Laura Nuttall 🙂

My motivation for this has come from a very special person called Laura Nuttall who in late 2018, was diagnosed with terminal multiple brain tumours at the young age of 18. Her determination and positive attitude to not only live her life to the full but also to help others as an ambassador for the charity is just incredible and I’m proud to join the fight in whatever way I can. You can read Laura’s story at the following link. Please be generous and help this great charity to raise much-needed funds for researching a cure.
