Ridiculous as it is, that’s not my current wish list, but rather is the outdoor related booty that was given to me this week by way of Christmas gifts. I’m a very lucky girl – not to mention spoiled and over-indulged to an outrageous degree this year!
Now I just need to get out there to use it.
Hope you all had a good festive time of over-indulgence yourselves.

Gayle- if the Cumbria Way is on your list of 2008 to-do drop me a mail?
ReplyDeleteWho's a lucky girl, then!!! What did Husband get? A pair of washing up gloves and a pinny? lol
ReplyDeleteI've done the Cumbria Way as well -assuming you start at Ulverston, it's great, apart from the end, a grotty walk into Carlisle. I did it an unusual way - started in Ulverston and walked north to Keswick and then went to Carlisle and walked south to Keswick (let's not go into detail but I can recommend this way).
Husband got as outrageous, or maybe moreso, a haul than did I.
ReplyDeleteWe actually walked the Cumbria Way ourselves last March. The person who bought us that book didn't know that.
It's been interesting reading it anyway - and tempting to go and walk it again, but we're resisting on the basis that we should go and walk some other places first.
