Only 4 Weeks To Go

Thank goodness. I’m bored with training. I’m bored reading forums(a). I’m bored with guide books. I WANT TO GO…….. NOW!!!!!!
Out tomorrow on the 14 mile Burscough Loop with a full pack but no hills ‘cos the Lancashire plain is like that. You know……. plain. We were hoping to do High Cup Nick, which I will do this year, but we could only do that on Sunday due to commitments tomorrow morning, and the forecast for Appleby on Sunday is cold and wet, so we are postponing.
No other news of a Camino related type.
Have to say that the deaths of Victoria Wood and Prince is continuing the loss of artists of incredible genius that started in January. RIP both. Having been a newsagent for more years than I care to remember, the Victoria Wood song with the line ‘beat me on the bottom with my Woman’s Weekly’ has to be one of my all time favourites. It works better because I can remember the little old ladies who used to buy it.

    Mere Sands Wood Walk

    My December, Mere Sands Wood, walk with the Southport guys was to be a familiar one. We started at Fettler’s Wharf, Rufford.
