Leg 4 - Lancaster to Ramsbottom (featuring David Bellamy)

We have now made it to leg 4 of our journey, and are doing the equivalent of Lancaster to Ramsbottom.

Who do you think we have roped (unknowingly) into our 1Voice1Walk Team?
Why, DAVID BELLAMY!
Yes, as we walked today, we managed to walk alongside Dr Bellamy himself, who was doing a talk about flora and fauna, and told us that in the olden days they used bluebells to act as the glue which held feathers onto arrows. Don't say this blog isn't educational.

Here is our photo evidence and I hope David B won't mind us adding him to our team, as we did do nearly half a mile with him as he pointed out points of interest about our local plants.

Here are our stats, 676 miles to Christmas Pie House!

"Arriving" in Ambleside

And so, as our stats reveal, we have completed leg 2 and have arrived at the equivalent of Ambleside. This is a very special place to us, as it is important to our friend Nadia and her family.

The next leg of our walk will take us the equivalent of going from Ambleside to Lancaster (33.5 miles). We might actually really go to the actual Lancaster, if we can fit it in during our holidays!

Here we go...

Blackpool

This weekend, we clocked up 11.07 miles around Blackpool with Angie. We saw donkeys and some people kind of surfing but being pulled along by kites. Does anyone know what that is called?

I am behind with adding up how far we have walked, but will get on the case very soon...

2nd leg

We went on a lovely walk today with Ange and Josephine - although the sun was kind of out, it wasn't time to caste off our coats quite yet. We clocked up 5 miles and are now on the equivalent of our second leg - Hobson to Ambleside.

And here is our Sunday update on the numbers:

Bear with us!

We have been walking, but not so very very far because over the past two weeks, each dog got ill, but at different times. Plus I kept forgetting to turn the GPS tracker off so it kept telling me we have walked 26 miles overnight (which obviously we hadn't,but is a quirk of GPS trackers apparently). So then I had to edit each walk to cut it down to the right amount. Plus we hit our target for the first leg, but I hadn't worked out the total or route for the next leg so I didn't have anything to put on here!

But we are still going, and have now done over the 366 miles equivalent of Sandwood Bay to Hobson! Hooray

So, in the meantime, here is a picture of Hobson from Google Earth, which doesn't prove anything at all, but is educational none the less!
