Night Walk

Yesterday evening we did our first training walk in the dark, and the first as a full team of four now that Gelly has recovered from her broken toe. We gathered at our flat and set off about 7.45 with plenty of layers of clothing and our head torches (or in Sam's case hand-held torch).

Before we left we actually managed to take our first full team photo!

The route was an exact replica of the route we walked during the day on Friday so starting and finishing at Farley Church via a figure of eight through Parnholt Wood and Farley Mount Country Park. Walking at night didn't seem too bad, the torches generally worked well and we were only 1 minute per mile slower than walking during the day... very pleased with that.

We're each going off to work on our own training now for a while then will get together again for a full team walk, with support crew, along the first four sections of the Trailwalker Route, on Saturday 5th May.
