We will be Coast to Coasting in only four weeks. That's one month for those of you with poor math skills. One month!
It snowed in the UK's Lake District over the weekend. Our first week of walking will be through those mountains. I don't know about you, but that is ridiculously exciting for one who lives on a tropical island with an almost ever present sun. Snow!! Today it's in the low 40s in St Bee's, which is where our Walk begins. I hope its snowing for at least part of our Lake District adventure...Lauren and I both miss snow and she will be so happy to be in the white stuff again that she won't notice the many miles of walking. Well, at least not so much.
Just imagine it.... walking 8 to 10 miles over mountains and around beautiful mountain lakes while lilly white snow flakes float down from a dark grey sky. Somewhere in those miles, you see the welcome sight of a pub come into view. Smoke billowing from its crooked chimney. The smell of fish and chips and bangers and mash wafting through the air. We'll hunker down close to the fire with a pint of the dark stuff and warm our bellies with a good meal. Maybe a short nap by the fire and we'll be off again through the snow to the next pub.
Jealous yet?
