A Blog about the walking activities of Mick & Gayle, from short strolls to Big Walks, interspersed with other random thoughts about things outdoor related.
The Road goes ever on and on; Down from the door where it began;
Now far ahead the Road has gone; And I must follow, if I can;
Pursuing it with eager feet; Until it joins some larger way;
Where many paths and errands met; And whither then? I cannot say.
[JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings]

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door [...] You step into the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Well done that man.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Not something I would ever wish to do, but I admire those that do and can greatly.
ReplyDeleteI think...
Good show - the man looks as fresh as a daisy!

Good effort, well done Mick
ReplyDeleteWell done, Mick, I hope it made all those hours of training seem worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments. It was really great fun preparing for and running the event but, my goodness, it did hurt over the last few miles. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to taking part in another one (soon).
Thanks alos for not commenting on the colour of my shorts - they were selected for recognition purposes only! I didn't see anyone else wearing that colour and Gayle did manage to pick me out of the crowd quickly when she met me for the Jelly Baby drops.
