Managed to take a womble up the garden this morning to get some fresh air. As usual I have a Willow escort to look after me.

Looking forward to a restful day and recovery. Bit of a shock to be told yesterday I have a bacterial infection on my lungs and some fluid there along with a rattle. Rest and fresh air apparently – oh and rest the voice!

We wanted a fire pit near the FoggCabin and low and behold we done it. Awesome has a new name.

Next stop is the outdoor cinema which arrives next week!

Or, these boots were made for walking…..

So……Dad and I have decided to walk the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Yes, that’s right, an 80 mile footpath that runs from Hull to Filey. So we’re going to cut out the Hull bit and start from South Cave, but it’s still around 70 miles of walking up hill and down dale in the historic Wolds.

I’m just about prepared….bought some walking boots, replaced the rucksack for a day sack (45litres), picked up some waterproof trousers (well it is the UK) and a shiny new cap.

Accommodation all booked, schedule sorted – 11ish miles per day, with one day being 16 (ouch!)

I just now need to get into shape and break the boots in. Fancy a walk anyone??

Ok, so I’ve had to buy bigger trousers than my previous hike trousers and shorts, but hey I’m a few years older nowadays.

I’m not worried at all that at 74 Dad is about 30times fitter than me and a gentle stroll for him is a 7 mile ramble.

However I’m up for the challenge…..who knows, could be Hadrians Wall next.
