Today is penultimate practice walk.
Left home at 8.15am. Went to Stanpit Marsh, Avon beach, Clfifhanger cafe , Avon Beach.Arrived Avon Beach 10.15 Coffee at Avon Beach. Left at 10.25 for ferry a Mudefore Quay, arrived at Mudefor Spit at 10.45. Then to Hengisbury Head, sandunes and boardwalk to Southbourne., into Harbour road and then to Wick, Tuckton Bridge, Quomps and home. Then walked back into town to bank & building society and to do some shopping. Walked home.
Distance walked was 15.30 miles, Calories 1346, time taken 4 hours and 30 seconds. Steps 26935. Speed calculated during walking time [excludes coffee and other breaks] was 3.82m.p.h. - this was really encouraging as this was marginally faster than any previous walk prior to my being taken ill. Feel ready for walk. Iron tablets have already made a noticeable beneficial difference.
Tomorrow will my last training walk. Have also done a trial pack of rucksack - weighed 11.3kilos. Will consider ways of reducing this but this is pretty minimal. I will be able to make changes after the first two weeks when I am back home for five days from September 12th. By then I may need some warmer clothing.
