There was a gradual climb out of Drymen through Garadhban Forest ..

After days of walking sideways it felt good today to have the compass pointing northwards ..

I was confused when I started walking this morning ..

There was more of The John Muir Way today ..

We picked up the Union Canal again today ..

Last night around 10.30 as I was settling down to sleep, my mobile rang ..

My rest day really delivered yesterday ..

It was a leisurely stroll of 7 miles this morning ..

There were highs and lows to yesterday’s walk ..

After a day on the racing circuit ..

There’s no two ways about it .. today’s walk was a slog
