not done the blog yet! Today I walked a bit and then I walked some
more and after a little break from walking I set out walking again...
Tomorrow I might go walking too and maybe the day after that as well.
It's tough and it's draining and everything starts to hurt at some
point in the afternoon but I just have to keep going to make the daily
mileage. I guess overall I am finding it easier day by day, the pains
are lessening as my body gets accustomed to the work. This recent
change from walking mostly on roads to walking mostly on footpaths has
been significant, it's reduced the amount of ground I can cover
because they tend to be less direct but it has stopped the deadness in
the soles of my feet that i would feel on the roads. So enough about
me what else happened today...
Terry from Cornwall who I met at Chew Valley caravan park this morning
donated £10, thank you Terry! I walked from the caravan park in
Bishops Sutton to Chipping Sodbury and then walked two or three miles
further. I am now camped in a farmers field alongside the sheep. There
really aren't many campsites around here and the farmer was fine about
it.
The quarry in the picture is in the village of wick, it looked like
just a small yard from the front gate but as you can see was not quite
so small inside. The ducks I met in Keynsham next to Bristol. I forgot
to photograph the cows that chased me acroos their field, 30 or so
young bulls ran up to the stile as I came to one field and encircled
it all of them edging closer but ready to run away if I turned out to
be dangerous! So I jumped down from the stile in amongst them and
they mostly ran away but then as I made the 100 metres walk across
their field they were all coming up behind in a big semicircle, a few
of them tossing their heads and bucking with excitement. Strangely for
that 100 metres my feet didn't hurt at all, and that was the fastest I
got over a stile all day at the other side!
Mileage today 25
That's all folks ;-)
