I've started work on all of the photos we took during the walk, that is all 2,500 of them! I can't help but smile as they bring back memories of the wonderful times we had while on the walk. Ross and I have only had brief opportunity to discuss or email about the experience. I'm very lucky to have a great friend in Ross, who appreciates the simpler things in life like (me,) walking and looking and taking in the breathtaking beauty that is our wonderful country. I hope we will have further opportunity to explore.
I had no ill effects from 12 days walking. In fact I feel stronger and fitter than for years. It is certainly a lot different from our "short" walk along the Staffordshire Way last year! I have already bored everyone at work with my sunny disposition and gushing descriptions of the walk. If it encourages just a few people to consider taking up the challenge of the walk, I am content.
I would encourage anyone to walk the route. We saw literally hundreds of people along the route, many were older (but no less capable) than Ross and I. They took it at their own pace and in their own style. Many suffered for the pleasure that the walk brings. Hats off to those that continued despite the blisters, sores and other injuries. It is testament to the strength of will that some continued; I only hope that if I were put in the same position I would find the determination to carry on.
It is truly a wonderful experience.
I have uploaded a short video to You Tube. Sorry about the music; if anyone can suggest more appropriate walking related songs I am making up some other slideshows.
If you have broadband there is a better copy available for download here.
Once you have it downloaded, run the .exe file and when the video opens click on Loop All.
