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.

    I’ve just received a rather dinky folding bluetooth keyboard from those tax avoiders at Amazon. I thought that if I was going to blog while we were walking the Camino, I really needed a keyboard and at 25 squid, this looks ideal. Problem No. 1 is I can’t find the pound sign, but the keyboard…
