Yesterday backwards….

No Dear Reader not yadretseY…..I mean we did yesterday’s walk in reverse ( just to clarify!) Today started well for me ….got on the scales this morning and I’ve lost 4 lbs..to be celebrated I feel . Though watch those celebratory calories 😉😉

What a day to walk – just to clarify, all Dutch men will be appropriately attired today!!!
Someone is raring to go ….( okI know it doesn’t look it but she was!

Now, we have a rookery near us , noisy yes, but apparently very special!

They’re ready for Spring …beware when walking underneath!!!
Carpets of snowdrops ….

Then look to your left on the other bank ….

Litter litter litter

Now I don’t know if this is the fault of the wind or careless workers on the building site above …..whatever it is , it is a blot on the landscape and needs clearing . Anyway, onwards and forwards ( we’re on theTrans Penine Trail – there is no upwards or downwards here !!!) We meet several of Millie’s friends …

Flynn
Alfie ( not Alfie who we walk regularly with – another one!)

Onwards we go – I collect some pussy willow from a fallen tree as we pass and then we leave the trail for Castle Dam – if you remember from yesterday, one of Millie’s favourite places….

Stunning…
Throw me a biscuit Mum……
Bloke still standing there …😜😜

Then …disaster …low power ! Not me you understand , ……..the phone !

So I’ll restrict photos from now on …..

Couldn’t resist this – what beautiful countryside surrounds us …

So we’re well on our way home now , with hopefully at least another 5 km under our belt . However I have to confess that, whilst my mind, arms , and left leg are willing , my right hip is not in fairness playing ball. So whilst I am trying to fulfil my challenge I may not be able to continue ……just know Dear Reader that I will not give in unless absolutely necessary

I’ll leave you with this ..to try and then not succeed is better than not trying at all …
