So we did go walking in the Peaks today. Started in a forest and then did a bit of the pennine way and walked all the way back in a circle. I'll check with Matthew how much it actually was but we walked for five hours, without seeing a drop of rain! I'm EXHAUSTED. It was so nice though. We bought one of those detailed maps and got our inspiration from there. Matt wants to do the same route again when my knee's, as he said it, 'repaired' and see if we can do it in less but I'm thinking about taking it more up North. The Pennine way is going past Hadrian's wall so woo, walk to Schotland, I like it.
Also, despite all the 'if I crash my knee now, the helicopter heroes will actually come and save me, right?' comments, today's really helped me get more confident about my knee. I only needed a hand getting down a hill once or twice, and Matt even made a really good picture of me wading through a stream on my bare feet, so woo, confidence of the physique all round.
Tomorrow night we're having a bbq/small parteh. I can only hope some people show up because most are still revising. But Matt's off to his Swiss wedding on Tuesday so we've got no choice really. I'm a bit sad, but seeing as this week's been so amazing and Copenhagen is actually only a week off AND Glasto's drawing close as well, I've got no time to feel sad really.
Aww, however, Anders, Helle's boyfriend has gone and injured himself (not too sure how or why, the telephone died and neither me or Helle have credit) so she's flying off to Denmark tomorrow rather than come with us on Friday. I hope he's gonna be alright, and that we won't be too much in the way when we get there next week..
