I'm on the penultimate day of a pleasantly dull holiday - walking by myself from Ulverston in south Cumbria back to Carlisle where I live, over six days. The weather is unseasonably warm - especially for a northerner like me - so I have spent every opportunity wild swimming along the way. A few people have said it's odd to do something like this alone, but I've rather enjoyed it. Days spent plodding along listening to birds and identifying wild flowers, evenings reading or listening to podcasts after some very nice meals. Tomorrow is the last gasp - 16 miles down the river Caldew back to my husband and dogs. I have missed them 😊
F52, feet size UK5 in the morning, about UK6 by the time I get my boots off at night. I had a banana Corny bar my husband brought me back from Berlin, but I ate it on Stake Pass.
