Urs has been plagued with a bad back, but
luckily her physio has told her that there is no reason she cannot walk the
Coast to Coast in August if she keeps up with the exercises. I have therefore tried to be very
encouraging. So we decided to have a
first trial walk on 11th May.
We did a circular walk around Charlton Down. It was a 6 ½ mile trip of rolling Dorset
countryside, so a very pleasant way to start.
We started a tradition that we hope to keep up on most of our training
walks and will also be a necessity during the actual trek – the pub pit
stop. We’d set out with £7 for
emergencies so luckily the very generous landlord at The Sun Inn allowed us 30p
of our bar bill so we could both enjoy a pint.
Stats:
Distance: 6.51 miles
Climb: 226.4 ft gain
Time: 2 hours 1 minute (may not have included time to drink the pint!)
