Caught the 9.49 bus service X1 to Barton-on-Sea and alighted from bus at 9.25am.
Set off westward and crossed Holbourne Naish caravan park and into Chewton Bunny and then along highcliffe undercliff path to Highcliffe Castle and then through Steamer Point nature reserve and along to Avon Beach cafe where I met Dave Galpin at 11.35am. After coffee we walked to Mudeford Quay and Davewent home while I waited for the ferry to Mudeford Spit. Times had been reduced to 10.00 to 4.00pm [quite a change from 9.00 to 10.00pm!] Then set off and up onto the Hengisbury heath to Hengisbury Head and then along accross the sand dunes and boardwalk to Southbourne and into Harbour Road to Wick where I called in on rex and Margaret. Rex gave me a lift home. Walked 8.49miles in 2hours 19 minutes and 41seconds actual walking time. [Pedometer stops when not walking.] Average speed was 3.645miles per hour.
Having started a new course of antibiotics and also having gone for this walk my left leg has lost a lot of its swelling and the swelling on my foot has gone for which I praise the Lord. Feel good about resuming walking on Friday. However, five weeks is much more than two weeks and I still feel tired. Have hardly lost any weight.
