I have started planning my Trans Pennine walk which will start in June. The Trans Pennine Trail runs coast to coast in a sort of Liverpool -Hull arrangement. It is designed to be covered from West to East but I am going East to West. This makes my start everyone else's finish, if you get my drift. I will have to read the map backwards - no problem actually as I have never been able to read a map of any sort whatever way round.
The maximum distance I can currently walk in a day is 2 miles. I need to work on this a bit. There is one stretch of 20 miles where, according to the guidebook, population is sparse. (This makes me think they're all married to their first cousins and have six fingers and there'll be no pubs.) I think I'll become an expert at East Yorkshire bus services.
And now I start my training. The dog doesn't want to come, idle hound. I'll have to send him to kennels whilst I'm hoofing across the country as Mr Smith will be golfing in France. Just as well or I would have sent him to kennels too.
