Day 7

Actually could just stay in bed today! Got the delights of a mud and bog bath to face on the tops, but only 13 miles today so be done before dark!

Not quite there yet

20 mile walk today think we all looking rather knacked esp Murrey who said the agenda needed to be altered!

Looking happy

John and celebrity walking guest, poor replacement for Julia but those legs and socks detracted from john's

Tribute to Phil!

Day 6

Robin hoods grave. Obviously he got lost also, as found him nr the M6

End of day treat

Lakes best beer tastes better in Yorkshire. Taking on extra liquids for big 20 miler tomorrow, Julia would be proud of us!

The cracks

The cracks are beginning to show at Shap Abby, but not in our joint performance as we motored along Hawswater at 4.5miles p/h!

Day 3

Windy on tops. No rain. And not got lost today, maybe due to steve having the lead and John forgetting the map!

The top

Art on top of mountain!

Enmerdale

Just had lunch after splendid walk through ennerdale about to go up haystack

Starts here!

One week to go!

For those select few that have decided to follow the site and our build up well....one week to go and still very little signs of strict exercise regime from John.  If walking the dog down the nature trail helps then i'll be sorted.  Steve on the other hand is concentrating all his efforts on getting Dawns deluxe bedroom completed!   Looks like neither of us will be in any fit shape then!!!
