Voyage Award - started
After getting my Voyage Award book in June; today I actually started one of the sections. This was the 'Explore my World' section, which is to take 20 hours. My plan is to walk the local 32 mile Ring route around the local town. I have divided the route into four sections, so that is 8 miles each day approximately.
I packed up my rucksack and got my map ready before going to the midweek communion at a local church. This was partly because the route goes right by the church and partly because my mentor for this bit would be there and I wanted to show her my preperations and plans.
My 8 miles today took me 5 hours, but that was because of stopping to take photos and write notes, plus having lunch. I went;
along a canal,
across fields,
through gates,
and over railway lines.
It was a good walk, even if I have ended up with some blisters. I have to take a rest day tomorrow, but I might do the next bit on Friday.
