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 😉😉


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


Then look to your left on the other bank ….

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 …


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….



Then …disaster …low power ! Not me you understand , ……..the phone !
So I’ll restrict photos from now on …..

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 …
