...Yeahhh, so it's probably not the most beneficial way to begin a long walk, but a cup of Costa's finest was essential. It was 9am on Sunday morning and we'd been en-route to the meeting point in the lush Surrey countryside for an hour.
See? Essential.
This is my mum, I roped her into walking with me today. She was also in need of a coffee.
So, we arrive, set off and thankfully it's all blue skies :)
Ahh, doesn't it look nice?
Putting one foot in front of the other...(new boots getting grubby)
We spy a few cows along the way! MOOOOO...
Mum takes a sly pic of me at lunch (we're up to 8 miles by this point so still feeling fresh-ish)
And, erm...the rest is un-photographable (or rather, we just didn't photograph it). The walk got much tougher shortly after this point, and we just had to knuckle down and get on with it, dead seriously, like.
I swear for the last 3 miles, it felt like my feet were on fire!
No joke.
Training-wise, I definitely have a long way to go!
To summarise, the stats;
MILES WALKED: 13
COWS SPOTTED: 10ish
BLISTERS COUNTED: 3 (I'll spare you the pictures)
MIDGY BITES: 8 (and they're huge!)
DAYS TO GO: 71 (AHH!)
Until next time people...
