Hi to all, Well we have finished day 9 of 13 on this walk from the Irish Sea to ? - the other side!!! After the fabulous weather and company of the other walk this one has been a disaster. The group is not fast or fit. 2 members get the bus most days, the speed is so slow,and we gave big miles to cover. The weather has been appalling, think today is the first day I have not had my jacket on, plus often my rain pants, beanie, gloves, buff and 3 prs of socks. O...

Hi back again, I am actually in France having flown into Switzerland today to start my 2 week walk around Mt Blanc. But I am going to tell you about my 6 days back in the UK. I froze most of the time after the heatwave we had in the Balkans. I thought Cambridge was good but Oxford was even better! I walked all over Cambridge, along the canal with lots of barges, along the backs of the Colleges where they were doing punting I went to Kings College which was ...

I walked to Stonehenge which wa...

It needs to be charged first then programmed! And it needs the car cigarette lighter to charge - not into the wall! So here I was with a map book trying to find my way from the north west of London To the SE!! Couldn't do it and drove absolutely miles around in circles until finally...

Hi to all. I have had a great 4 sunny hot days in London, how lucky am I ? Changing today I think but I pick up a hire car today and set off for the east then south then north while catching up with an old friend and relatives of the kids. London on the whole wasn't as expensive as I expected except for the Tube which costs lots. There were sales everywhere yesterday on Oxford St and some very cheap clothing there. Harrods was not cheap tho even with sales! ...
