Distance 7.5 miles
Weather Overcast & cold
Company Solo
Having just bought a new pair of boots I decided to start to 'break them in' and at the same time, I loaded my other acquisition, a 65 litre rucksack to see if I could cope with the weight. I walked from home down to the beach, along to Sandsend where I took the track of the old railway as far as the Sandsend tunnel before retracing my steps as far as Sandsend and finishing the walk along the road. The boots were fine but I knew about the extra weight on my back. I had pain in my back and my neck so I need to work at it before walking any distance with a load.
