Six more sleeps until I am outta here again. Off to Vancouver (by air), Whistler and then back on the hound via Hope, Kamloops (have to stop at both places and do a walk for a walking program I am on...yes I am obsessed but hey there are worse things to be obsessed about than walking...I should know....) and then Kelowna...just because I've never been there. Then 26 hours straight back home...piece of cake.
While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep? Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker. I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that. While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards. And there I found my walk. After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.) Okay, I may not have totally...
