Distance 8.8 miles
Weather Fine and sunny.
Company Solo
Today was an excellent day for walking, a light breeze from the sea helped to prevent me from getting too warm and the recent rain showers had refreshed the greenery and made the colours more vibrant than I have seen them for a long time. In addition the air was crystal clear, especially when looking out to sea. The down side was the flies! Walking along the old railway towards Hawsker I was plagued by swarms of greenfly, and as I neared the coast, black fly became quite a nuisance and at times made things uncomfortable.
I was carrying a lot of weight in my rucksack as part of my preparation for the coast to coast walk next year and I felt that I coped reasonably well but I have a bit to go yet before I am ready.
