Return of the hills...

Dad was surprised how easily he got out of Manchester - the YHA gave him a map and it was all straightforward.  The weather was Ok, and the scenery was really beautiful, but the hills have returned with a vengance.  At times, with tired legs, he felt that he was never going to get to the top...  but with characteristic determination he kept going! En route he stopped to enjoy the ruins at Whalley Abbey and also to feel satisfaction at reaching the top of the high pass he went through.

He's now done over 500 miles and been on the road for 9 days - we're proud of you dad!

We’re following your progress avidly and are relieved that the rain seems to be holding off a bit and hoping the southerly winds are helping you along. Just think – by the end of taday you should be just over half way! Our prayers are with you.
