The Jelly Baby Rush

Just after it kicked in!

Longer training walk with Stephen today and boy did we need the jelly babies!

I'd planned a route that combined two walks so wasn't quite sure the distance but thought it was around 11, maybe 12 miles and hadn't really looked at the contours. Just thought it'd be nice taking in Broadway, Broadway Tower, Snowshill, Stanway, Stanton, Laverton, Buckland and back to Broadway.

So picked Stephen up and set off at 9am. First steep climb up to Broadway Tower, then down, then back up another hill, then down, then up, then down, then up .... repeat ad infinitum and you get the picture! Conversation was somewhat limited on the hills however homemade healthy muffins re-fueled us at one stop, then sandwiches and jelly babies at Stanton gave us the final energy surge for the home straight back to Broadway for 3.15pm.

Fabulous day with ace weather and a very good CV workout! Bill is now snoring, the immersion is on so I can have a hot bath and I've just worked out that we did around 13.5/14 miles.

Currently looking at iphone apps so I can be more accurate - and get the elevations - for the next one!

Roast chicken later - I definitely deserve it!
