Training Weekend!

Yes, it’s time for the second annual Leyland Road Methodist Church Walking Weekend! 2 nights at the luxurious Ambleside YHA, right on the banks of Windermere with bar and restaurant. The view from the lawn in front of the bar is shown below.

Stroll round Ambleside tomorrow aftrnoon, Fairfield Horseshoe on Saturday and, weather permitting, another walk Sunday. Possibly a pint or two in between the walking.
Fairfield will be harder than any of the Camino days, so should be a good test. Hope to get a good walk on Sunday as well just to see if I can do 2 days walking together! Should be a good test for the boots too. My main problem may be trying to have a conversation while walking uphill.

  • Stocks Reservoir

    Got out yesterday in the Forest of Bowland. Beautiful countryside and we took a well loved walk around Stocks Reservoir from Slaidburn. Slaidburn is festooned with signs warning of the passage of the Tour of Britain bike race on Monday. I’d really love to get up there to watch but, sadly it can’t be done….

  • Autumn on the way

    After a day of grey skies and rain yesterday, this morning the sun shone and the sky was blue. I’m keeping my eye on the chestnut tree at the side of Lytham Hall and waiting for it to show its full autumn glory, so there may be more pictures similar to these.
