Walk (Fittleworth-Petworth) 7:00:00 [3] 27.0 km (15:33 / km) +300m 14:44 / km
Pub walk with Lu and Jan from Fittleworth. Bedham, Petworth, the Park, Byworth, Shopham Bridge, Coates, with ice creams in PP, lunch at the Co-op and drinks at the Black Horse. By way of a loosener for the Cotswold Way in a week’s time. Forecast was for rain but day was warm and sunny throughout. Full of aches and pains in left shoulder, knee and ankle, all the grief I’ve had since the 3FC in May, but considering the heat, weight of boots and brisk-ish pace I felt alright. What I wasn’t doing was carrying a heavy pack of course. In fact this was a superbly enjoyable stroll through lovely scenery on a glorious summers day.
