Well, not exactly a team walk, as Peter and Jo didn’t make it. Weather was pretty rotten but it was a good chance to check we could cope with rain and gales!

Andy picked a 15 mile route taking in hills around Butterfield and Barton-le-Clay on the outskirts of Luton. Here I am at the top of Warden Hill after 11 miles of nasty weather…

We cut the walk a little short at the end, totalling 14.3 miles in 4hrs 45 mins, an excellent 3 mph pace for the conditions.

Andy coped well despite some worries over his achilles tendon. However. I think I’ve left it too long between this the last long walk I did, as I ached a lot this morning. Will have to do more, July is seeming closer and closer…!
