My Birthday Walk

We met this Shetland Pony and her foal on the walk so I am sure everybody will agree this makes a lovely photograph.

Another birthday so another walk. This time we did the 12 mile stage of the Roman Wall walk from Walton to Carlisle. A fairly easy stage without many hills which was just as well as almost 3 weeks of no walking made me a wee bit unfit. By the end of the 12 miles my feet were a bit sore but it was a lovely dry day, although we should have walked it the opposite way as we were walking into a strong wind all day. The day will finish with Dinner at the Buccleuch Centre and then a concert with the Searchers. What more can an old man ask for. Answers on a post card.

Bowman really enjoyed it as well as there were plenty of kissing gates and no stiles so he did not have to be lifted over any of them.
