Training! What training?

By Nick

In reply to Juli's e-mail soliciting donations, we had an e-mail from my niece, who works, as it happens, for Macmillan Cancer Support. She asked, quite innocently, how our training was going. I showed her e-mail to Juli and we just looked at each other, blinking.

However, we gave it some thought, and wondered if there might not be some mileage in the idea after all, so this morning we're going on a 10 mile walk from our house to Market Harborough to see how it goes.

There's a dismantled railway path that runs between Northampton (south of us) and Market Harborough (north of us) that crosses our road (Station Road) about a mile from us. We could just walk east down the road to the crossing, but another footpath we can join closer to us, meets the old railway track further north, so we're going to do that. The other reason for this route is that this closer path just happens to form part of the Macmillan way (as does the railway path, incidentally.)

This will also be a practice run for us in terms of blogging, tweeting, and photographing our walk as we go, so watch this space.

More shortly.
