Keep On Walking

BySouthportRed

A cold, still day today so I’ve been for a walk with Heather this morning, through Lytham Hall grounds, down Green Drive along the coastal path to Granny’s Bay and home. Just short of 6.5 miles.

Up to 14.3 miles so far. I’ll keep on going through January and see how far I get. (Camino training??) I can’t wait to get out of Lytham to walk. Hopefully, from Jan 20th, I’ll be back driving and I’m looking to do the famous Rag Pudding walk (possibly no pub – dry January and all that guff!), Rivington, Rufford and Slaidburn. I’ll post dates and, if anyone fancies joining me, that would be great!
