Visible Progress!

Posted by Glenn

A few weeks ago, Irwin (H), and I had a training walk along a familiar stretch of the North Antrim coast. The last time we followed this route, one member of our group ended up getting whisked off to hospital, by the Coastguard! (I might be persuaded to share some photos from that experience, at a future date? Any interest?)

Last summer, we walked this route, from the Giants Causeway, to Ballintoy (10 miles) in just over 6 hours, and I was really glad to get it finished…sore legs, and knackered. When Irwin then said that in a years time, we would be doing it both ways in not much more time…I thought he was…well, let’s just say, I wasn’t looking forward to it!

However…

…when Irwin suggested it, both ways, 20 miles, the other week, I felt we could go for it!  When we finished…8 ½ hrs later, I was not in the same state as I had been in, the previous year, after doing it 1 way, in fact I felt we could, quite easily, have walked further!

As you can see, we had fantastic weather, and we were smiling the whole day through!

I can not believe that we are going to Africa, to Kilimanjaro, 2 weeks from now!

We have our last half serious walk tomorrow, at Binevenagh…looking forward to taking some more photographs!
