Yup. Only 3 more weeks!
Just checked weather.com and it's still in the low forties in St. Bee's - our starting point. Remember, we're talking about northern England. It's a balmy 47 degrees in Robin Hood's Bay, which is where our walk ends. In the towns in between its been in low 50's. Perfect walking weather.
Oh, I neglected to mention the liquid sunshine. Yup, it's pouring. Buckets. Poor visibility. Fog. I don't mind at all. In fact, I think it's pretty damn exciting! Walking in 45 degrees in the rain over mountains and through peet bogs will be nice change from walking in 85 degrees with a hot sun and high humidity. Warm pints by a blazing fire will be that much more wonderful after a day of cold rain.
I've added 3 days of "bootcamp" each week to my training to build strength and endurance. It sucks. I'll leave it at that. I find my pint draining training much more to my liking.
My excitement is tempered only by the lack of excitement on Lauren's part. I guess she's decided that walking across England doesn't sound like fun after all. Crazy girl. It's gonna be the most amazing thing we've ever done together. Or else.
21 days and counting!!!
