we had our third practice walk today - it was a long one. Starting off at Mouse Lane in Stenying, we trekked for 5 hours through the downs. There were quite a few ascents which kept us on our toes.
Luckily the weather held up. There was a brewing storm threatening us from a distance, but it never caught up with us. The clouds finally disappeared and the skies were blue. (Adam, did you get that - the skies were blue!) So blue in fact, that I turned a nice lobster bisque pink colour. Lesson learned - my skin no longer browns nicely and I need sunblock! Lots of it! I will now suffer wonderful tan stripes from my back pack. Attractive.
Ken, our official photographer, was unable to make it today. I did my best to document the journey, but - well, hhhmmmm, I kind of ran out of battery. Sorry, Ken won't happen again. Karen spent a good part of the journey snapping away, so hopefully, I will link to her snaps soon. Click here to view the pics from the first fourth of our journey here.
