Hadrian's Wall Walk, Day Four
This is a top pick! Day 4 Start - Finish Once Brewed - Walton Distance - 28 Kilometres We left the pub early and set on up a hill. At the top, we re-joined the trail again, and like yesterday, it was very impressive. Not long after, we came to the highest ...
Triathlon: The whole story
The big day loomed and we were both feeling strangely anxious - why? We wouldn't be competing against anyone else, we'd done the training, what could go wrong? Who knows? But having committed to doing something and with so many people sponsoring us we ...
Experience Morocco - long expected trip.
It all began in 1992 as 15 yo teen I playd video games on my Amiga. And one title i never forget Titus the Fox: To Marrakech and Back. Nothing special, just platform game. But title sounded hmmm... like challenge for my young mind. I'd check in ...
A sort sail to the Walton Backwaters
... on tap etc, it was time to cut the umbilical and set off. We weren't planning to go far, just downriver and into the Walton Backwaters, so highly recommended by my brother in law Chris, that I daren’t leave the area without having a look! However, ...
A Day at Anchor
Perhaps it was the haircut but I didn't feel very energetic today. It was a sunny morning, albeit with a cold air stream. This is a cracking anchorage, one could be miles from anywhere it’s so quiet. However, on the horizon loom the cranes of ...

The Creamiest Fields of them all.....Part 2

Going nowhere again!
... stronger painkillers. If it did not get any better, then he would send her for an x-ray. John walked into Walton to get some shopping and the prescription and then got a taxi back who happened to be the same driver who stopped ...
Wow - it's raining again. Glad I'm leaving.
Well, I thought I would miss it, but had to walk through a little rain to/from the taxi and from the gate to the plane. Don't you just love airports with outside stairs? Plus it is always fun to watch the flight attendants clean up all that rain that ...
Wet and windy again
... windy day and have heard it is supposed to be worse tomorrow! Will we ever get away to Holland? After breakfast we went into Walton on the Naze and eventually managed to send the newsletters. The computer in the library was so slow it took us the ...
A little problem turns into a bigger one!
23rd April 2012 Woke at 7.45!! Isi had a restless night with cramps and painful knee. Lovely sunny morning again, and engineer due at 10am so we had a quick bacon and egg sandwich. James came to sort out the electrics with the bilge pump and sods law ...
Tomorrow is the big day
So, this is it... just one more night in our own bed and then off to try out oodles of other beds around the world. Although we booked the time off of work about a year ago somehow the trip seems to have come round quickly. Stu has already given up ...
First morning on board of our long stay
... a beautiful sunny morning. We had bacon, egg and tomatoes for breakfast which Steve really enjoyed. John and Steve went into Walton on the Naze to a cash machine and to get some milk but then got side tracked to an indoor car boot ...
Lymm to Moore
I spent a second night in Lymm. The Lymm Festival kicked off that evening and the small village centre was closed off to traffic and lots of food stalls were set up with a good choice of food, Paella, Indian and so on. I settled for fish and chips as the ...
Rain and wind again
25th April 2012 What a wet and windy day. Rather glad we are in a sheltered marina as they have been strapping down boats in the yard that are still out of the water. Spent most of the day sorting our photographs and getting last year's trip nearly ...
Restless Night
29th April 2012 We woke after a restless sleep because of the wind howling and the noise of the boat next to us groaning against the pontoon on squashed fenders. Fortunately we were being blown off so we were better off. We could not muster ...
Walton to Ramsgate - hooray!
2nd May 2012 Isi's leg is a bit better as she can put a bit of weight, but still painful and not really up to travelling yet. She had a shower and washed her hair and felt a lot better and even the painkillers seem to be taking effect at last. After a ...
Getting ready

nerdy stuff
just worked out that we have 60 hours of flying time ahead of us, a scary prospect! but made better by the fact that our flights would have cost £4239 each if we had booked them all separately today. we paid £4125 for us both. ...
The Creamiest Fields of them all!!! Part 1
This is the final adventure where I venture from the security blanket of an Aussie and Kiwi share-house full of friends and into the big bad world that is the unknown and in this case Northern England. It was a rollercoaster ride of excitement and ...

Sunny - hooray!
... about internet and he said "We have only just got rid of the carrier pigeons and getting used to decimalisation. We are not called Walton backwaters for nothing." They and at least 1 shop that we fund do not take debit or credit cards which we find very ...
Blisters and Company
... Gilsland (km 11). Its nearly half way but given the flatness I hope it will be over by 6pm. Destination just passed Walton (Sandysike). Common blisters - all together now!! After my short break I continued walking at a good pace given it was flatter and ...
Boiled eggs this morning
... kettle in there for that purpose, so it was not an extremely urgent job yet, but better now it is done. After lunch we went into Walton and had a look at the sea and rather glad we were not out there as it looked very brown. The library was shut so ...
Preparing for the Northern Lights
If we don't want to be cold then layering is the answer, or so everyone says, yeess... but how many layers? Well I'm just going to take loads. We're only going for 4 days so there'll be plenty of room in the suitcase. Experts are predicting ...
