All mapped out

Hello. An early phone call this morning had me out dog walking Bailey. His owner has a problem with her back, she can't walk very far, and I stepped in so she could rest. I did a second walk after lunch. A couple more days and she should be on the mend and able to do it herself. 

It's been a blustery day today, apparently we have storm Ewan now, I wonder who chose that silly name. 

Here are the maps for my next walk, it looks a long way from Newcastle to the Humber Bridge. I've done this one before but it will be a different route this time. I won't be following the coast, I shall be going through Durham, Darlington, Northallerton, Thirsk, York, Market Weighton, and Beverley. That's the theory anyway, nothing is set in stone I shall make it up as I go along. 

I'm not even sure if I can do it, it's been a couple of years since I last did a long one, and I am getting on a bit now. The 1000 mile challenge has been good practice, kept my stamina up, but I expect there will be some muscle ache somewhere along the way.

I'm gathering a few things together, need to keep my rucksack weight down. The train ticket is bought, the hotel in Newcastle is booked, and the cat/house sitter is organised. I'm looking forward to going off on my travels again, I missed it last year. No timetable, go where I please, stop start when I feel like it. The freedom of the road beckons me.

Thanks for popping in. we'll catch up soon.
