A week and a bit ago, shortly after we got back from our first outing in Colin, we popped off to Madeira for a week with Martin & Sue.
I opted not to blog as we went, but will try to string together a few words and snapshots about our outings over the next week.
If, by any chance, you should be too impatient to wait, then you can see what we got up to by reading Martin’s on-the-go posts (which contained no fiction and barely any exaggeration, honest), which are as follows:
Day 0 – Trying to meet up in Funchal
Day 1 – The deep-end introduction to exposed levada walking
Day 2 – A gentle stroll along a headland
Day 3 – Realising we’d all dressed in matching fleeces!
Day 3 – A gentle stroll around Funchal
Day 5 – The return leg from Camacha
Day 6 – Another stroll around Funchal
Day 7 – We should have come home, but stayed an extra day
Other news from the week included me meeting (and passing) my mileage target for the year (1825 miles) and our learning that we had places in the TGO Challenge next May (thanks to Louise for conveying that eagerly-awaited news!).
My pleasure! It was very pleasing to see so many familiar names on the list (including mine, phew, that was a relief!)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I'm very impressed with 'Colin' - he's obviously a sophisticated well-mannered type and rather handsome with it! Reading Martin's daily blog was very entertaining - so looking forward to your take on it.
