Day 151 – Quite a lot of walkers about – no I wasn’t including myself. I’m well off the boil. You know a serious walker when they have sticks and backpacks. This only confirms my bimble tendencies, but as they say Rome wasn’t built in a day. Oh yeah, they also say the Tortoise won the race so you just think on. Willow and I are getting there, we’ve just passed the 450 miles banner. I never doubted we could, and will do it, but it’s only at a much slower pace than others, who I believe are already heading back. I hope they bring me some Scottish Tablet – a lovely sweetie bar that I just can’t get enough of. It would have enough energy in one bar to get me the rest of the way.

Because of the current situation we find ourselves in – avoid big groups and mask up, and also Willows unpredictable behaviour, I tend to get her to hang back, sit and wait to allow the masses to walk through. The Towpath isn’t so wide and we would end up rubbing shoulders especially with Willow to Heal, ie; at my side.

We’d, well Willow had already been barking and making a show of herself with the working boat, and the ramblers seemed very interested in what they were doing. Been there done that. I did have to smile when one of the ramblers tried to open the lock gate when the working party was half way up in the lock. It’s hard to remember that some people just don’t know – why would they. It’s like I know nothing about golf, apart from the clubs get heavy when you’re lumbering them about. Also, golf is good walking, and if your ever asked the answer, its quite simple, of course Louise wouldn’t cheat if she got stuck in the sand dune or water. I’m glad we got that cleared up because you never know when that sort of question would come up.
