One final practice walk

 

My six days of walking is getting closer by the hour and my instinct was to have an easy weekend to make sure I didn’t jinx the whole thing by pulling a muscle climbing a stile or falling down a hole and breaking something. But I also feel that the more training I do the better prepared I will be, so when I spotted that there was a walk arranged for Nesscliffe with the Shropshire 1000 milers, I decided I would go along.

Nescliffe is on my doorstep so I walk it regularly as my “go-to” hill to climb.

But this was a longer walk and quite a different route from the one I normally take so I was interested to see where that would take us. Walking with the group brought extra interest with two very well behaved young children and a stop in the café in Ruyton XI Towns. The weather was fabulous, best day of the bank holiday weekend so it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday and another 6½ miles under my belt.
