Cold and bright day

Another lovely walking day today starting by going up Lamb Hill then through a bit boggy ground to Auchope Rigg. It’s following the England/Scotland border again and on the whole very pleasant walking in good weather conditions. The Cheviots really are stunning and a location I will be returning to in the future.

Cold and bright day

Walk 5.31 miles – It was the boring route again but I actually quite enjoyed the walk this morning in the snow. Started in a blizzard but then just a nice bright crisp morning on soft snow listening to my Ska collection. Happy Days.

Walk 4.89 miles – Up over the tops listening to my Ska music and just head down. That was until my running buddy Edward Lee caught me up and walked down to Nelson with me. Nice to have a friendly face on the walk to break it up.

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.
