Not bad for middle of the day!\n\nDoes anyone have tips on how to improve walking speed? At the moment I can cover just over 3 miles per hour. Want to get up to 4. Thanks!

Well. I’ve not walked very far since getting back from the three peaks! Took a 3 mile walk this morning and then had a lovley walk around Wallington Hall and grounds.

Not sure I’ve anything left in my legs from the weekend!! Lol

I was still undecided where my morning walk was going to take me as I stepped out of the door this bright sunny day. \n\nShould I head my normal route? Have I got time to go a little further? I still hadn’t made up my mind when I reached my nemesis of a gate. Ok feet, let’s go the longer route. \n\nThe sheep glanced my direction and one or two felt brave enough to walk towards me, but I strode on along the field for 1/2 mile paying them no heed, until I reached the next gate. A simple bit of twine over the gate post makes a fine locking mechanism. \n\nI forded the the river, well stream, or maybe brook and crossed into the mine field of wool, sheep poo and wee which would take me to the farm where I’d encounter yet even more sheep. \n\nFinally I get to the farm drive where I can get a bit of a step on. The sheep on this stretch are lined up at the side of the road, one behind the other. Just like synchronised swimmers, they peel off into the field as the big scary human approaches.

Way past my bedtime, but had to watch the match til the end. Andy really does put you through the ringer. I think I did most of these steps pacing up and down the living room!
