Another milestone last weekend when we booked our return flights. Got a great deal with Iberia Express. Santiago to Madrid to Manchester for £65 each. Just need two more train tickets now and they become available next month. Also got a rather wonderful app for my phone on which you can plan your route, get…
New Years day is a day to look back and look forward. Not at the same time obviously. Looking back while moving forward could also be dangerous………. better have a drink! 2015 was a year of mixed emotions. Lovely holidays and time spent with good friends and with my brilliant family.

So, this is the first non walk based blog. I’m a practising (No, I’ve not got it right yet) Christian and a steward at my local Methodist Church (No, it’s not a temperance church and yes I do like a glass of wine/beer/gin/brandy). As a steward, I’m part of the Leadership Team and we’ve been…
